It was announced earlier this week that rock n roll legends Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be performing at this year’s GRAMMY Awards. If you don’t know who the above mentioned is you have no business calling yourself a music lover and you have my deepest sympathies.
This year’s event, which will take place on 12 February and will be hosted by a member of hip hop and rap’s finest LL Cool J, already has a stellar line-up, and with the addition of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band it will undoubtedly be an unforgettable night.
For the uninformed amongst us, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band are one of the few musical groups who truly deserve the title, legend. Since their formation in the early 70’s, they have been Springsteen’s primary backing band, and have shaped and influenced rock music in a way that few others can claim. Not convinced? Springsteen won 20 GRAMMYs, two Golden Globe Awards, an Academy Award and an Emmy, among others. Give the man some respect.
On the night, they will be performing along with Adele (in her first live performance since undergoing vocal cord surgery last fall); Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson; Glen Campbell with The Band Perry and Blake Shelton; Coldplay and Rihanna; Foo Fighters; Bruno Mars; Paul McCartney; Nicki Minaj; Katy Perry; and Taylor Swift.
Aldean, The Band Perry, Minaj, and Shelton will perform on the GRAMMY telecast for the first time, while Adele, Campbell, Clarkson, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Mars, McCartney, Perry, Rihanna, Springsteen and The E Street Band and Swift are returning to the GRAMMY stage.
Presenters for the evening include Actor/Recording artist Jack Black, six-time GRAMMY winner and current three-time nominee Fergie, three-time GRAMMY winner and current nominee ?uestlove (The Roots), and nine-time GRAMMY winner Ringo Starr.
The Awards show will be broadcast worldwide on Dial Radio and will be covered online at GRAMMY.com and CBS.com, and on YouTube at www.youtube.com/thegrammys.
