Jon Batiste on the healing power of music
CBSN
Jon Batiste goes into Sunday's 64th Annual Grammy Awards with 11 nominations, more than any artist this year. But for Batiste, who is also the bandleader and a producer on CBS' "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," success is not without challenges. Batiste and Suleika Jaouad, whom he calls the love of his life, talk about his music, her battle with leukemia, and more in an emotional and revealing interview with correspondent Jim Axelrod for "CBS Sunday Morning," to be broadcast April 3 on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
Batiste and Jaouad, the author of the bestseller "Between Two Kingdoms," a meditation on being a leukemia survivor, learned just eight days before the Grammy nominations were announced that her illness was back.
"One thing that I've learned from this time is … it can all go away," Batiste said. "Things can change very quickly. From one day to the next, your world can be turned upside-down."
