‘Rolling Stone’ frontman Mick Jagger will perform live at the Grammy Awards for the first time in his career at this month’s ceremony in Los Angeles. The 67 year-old singer/songwriter will perform as part of the awards’ annual tribute to musicians and others who have recently died.
He will honor gospel and blues singer Solomon Burke and will be accompanied on the Grammy stage by soul singer Raphael Saadiq and his band, organizers said on Thursday. Jagger will join other musicians performing live at the music industry’s top honors, including Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem, Justin Bieber and Lady Antebellum.
Jagger has appeared on the awards show once before, via satellite with ‘The Rolling Stones’ in 1986, when the band was presented with a lifetime achievement award. The event takes place Feb 13 and is to be televised on CBS.
