Washington: It will be a double lucky break for American singer and songwriter Nick Jonas, as he is all geared up for hosting the upcoming Billboard Music Awards and to woo his fans in his much-awaited musical tour in August. Nick Jonas who is currently eyeing The Voice‘s winner trophy as the reality show premieres its semi-finale, will host this year’s Billboard Music Awards on May 23.
Talking to Variety, the 28-year old expressed his excitement by telling that he has always been a big fan of the show. “The thing that I love most about the BBMAs is that it’s really artiste-centric, and it feels like a great celebration of the past year in music,” said Nick.
The Sucker singer, who recently hosted Saturday Night Live and announced this year’s Oscar nominees with wife Priyanka Chopra, said that he is coming full circle in hosting the BBMAs. “When they asked me to host this show, I was thrilled. I felt like it was sort of like completing my relationship with the show,” Nick said.
He further mentioned this year’s performers for the BBMAs and added that he is excited to see live music performances and be around people again after more than a year of the pandemic shutdown.

I always love watching him do his thing and would love to collaborate with him someday,” said Nick while also mentioning that he is looking forward to seeing Drake receive the artist of the decade award and the K-Pop superstars BTS rock the stage.
“I love BTS. I saw them live here at the Rose Bowl a couple of years back and was just blown away by their performance,” Nick recalled.
