[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band[/lastfm] have joined the list of artists performing at the Grammy Awards on February 12th…
It will be the first E Street Band performance without sax player [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Clarence Clemons[/lastfm], who died last June following a massive stroke.
The Boss will likely play “We Take Care of Our Own,” the first single off his album Wrecking Ball, in stores March 6th. Ironically, Springsteen isn’t a fan of the Staples Center, where the Grammys are being held. He did the first-ever show there in 1999 and hasn’t been back since because he doesn’t like the number of luxury boxes.
Bruce is nominated for one Grammy — The Promise is up for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package.
He last performed on the Grammy stage in 2006, when he did an acoustic version of “Devils and Dust” and took part in a tribute to New Orleans, joining [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Sam Moore[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Elvis Costello[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Edge[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bonnie Raitt[/lastfm] , [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Dr. John[/lastfm] and others for “In the Midnight Hour.” And in 2003, he and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The E Street Band[/lastfm] did “The Rising,” and he joined in on a tribute to the late [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Clash[/lastfm] singer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Joe Strummer[/lastfm], doing “London Calling.”
Also just announced – [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ringo Starr[/lastfm] will be one of the presenters. His former bandmate, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Paul McCartney[/lastfm], will perform.
