Mick Jagger to perform Live at Grammy Awards for the first time

MUMBAI: Grammy Award-winning rock legend and Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Mick Jagger will perform live on the Grammy Awards for the first time. 
Accompanied by Grammy winner Raphael Saadiq and his band, Jagger will perform as part of the telecast’s annual "In Memoriam" tribute, which pays homage to members of the music community who have passed away in the previous year.
Jagger and Saadiq join previously announced performers and nominees Arcade Fire, Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga, Miranda Lambert, Muse, and Katy Perry; nominees Justin Bieber and Usher, with Jaden Smith; nominees B.o.B, Bruno Mars, and Janelle Monae; nominees Drake and Rihanna; and nominee Cee Lo Green, with Gwyneth Paltrow and the Jim Henson Company Puppets. Current three-time Grammy nominee Dierks Bentley, nine-time Grammy winner and current nominee Norah Jones, singer/actor Selena Gomez, two-time Grammy winner and actor LL COOL J, current nominee Nicki Minaj, and current nominee Blake Shelton will appear as presenters.
The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will take place live on 13 February, 2011, at Staples Center in Los Angeles
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. 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.
Arcade Fire, Bieber, B.o.B, Lambert, Mars, Monae, Muse, Paltrow, and Smith will also be performing on the Grammy telecast for the first time, and all five Album Of The Year nominees are set to perform on Music’s Biggest Night: Arcade Fire, Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga, and Perry.
