Jagger to perform at the Grammys

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- British rock icon Mick Jagger is to perform live on the Grammy Awards for the first time, The Recording Academy said Thursday.

Jagger will be accompanied by Raphael Saadiq and his band during the Feb. 13 telecast's annual In Memoriam tribute, which pays homage to members of the music community who have died in the previous year.

"In his first-ever live appearance on the Grammy stage, Jagger -- accompanied by soul singer Saadiq and his band -- will honor one of his longtime idols, recently deceased Grammy winner Solomon Burke," the academy said in a news release. "Jagger has appeared only once before on the Grammy telecast (with the Rolling Stones) via satellite from London during the 28th annual Grammy Awards in 1986, when Eric Clapton presented the Stones with The Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award."

Jagger and Saadiq join previously announced performers Arcade Fire, Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga, Miranda Lambert, Muse and Katy Perry.

Justin Bieber and Usher are also to perform with Jaden Smith, while B.o.B, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae will take the stage together, and Drake and Rihanna will share a duet.

Cee Lo Green and Gwyneth Paltrow also are to sing with the Jim Henson Company Puppets.

Dierks Bentley, Norah Jones, Selena Gomez, LL COOL J, Nicki Minaj and Blake Shelton are to be presenters at the prize presentation, which is to take place at Staples Center in Los Angeles and which will be broadcast on CBS.
