Gywneth Paltrow and Cee Lo won't be the only ones rocking out at this year's Grammys. Rolling Stones' frontman Mick Jagger will perform live at the awards for the first time in his career at this month's ceremony in Los Angeles.The 67-year-old will perform solo as a part of the show's annual tribute to musicians who have recently died. The talented singer/songwriter will honor gospel and blues singer Solomon Burke and be accompanied on the Grammy stage by soul singer Raphael Saadiq and his band, organizers said on Thursday.
"We're thrilled, delighted, excited and very much looking forward to Mick doing his debut on the Grammy stage," said Neil Portnow, the president and chief executive of the Recording Academy. "It's extraordinary to many of us that the fact is, this will be the first time; he has never performed on the Grammy stage."
Jagger has, however, appeared as part of the Grammys before. In 1986, he appeared via satellite with The Rolling Stones when the band was presented with a lifetime achievement award.

I agree Linda. Keith IS the glue that held the Stones together all these years. Mick was just the mouthpiece, who, at the invitation to the Grammy's, should have insisted they ALL be included. Keith would have. No loss though- Grammy's lately are nothing but Pop fluff. Not like it used to be.....in the golden olden days.....
