“Each person I’m gonna bring up tonight has influenced me musically,” Puth said, according to Rolling Stone, on Friday night. And while surprise appearances were made by Busta Rhymes, Kirk Franklin, andJimmy Fallon, who all performed with Puth, perhaps the biggest shock was when folk legend Art Garfunkel appeared on stage.
Joining the "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer, the two performed Simon & Garfunkel's 1970 hit "The Boxer," delighting the sold-out crowd, according to footage posted by Rolling Stone.
