The Recording Academy is rolling out the red carpet for some serious musical royalty, announcing the recipients of the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards. This year’s honorees span genres and generations, celebrating artists who have left an indelible mark on the music landscape.
Among the luminaries set to receive this esteemed recognition are West Coast icon Cher, the legendary Paul Simon, and the groundbreaking Fela Kuti. Also joining them are soul powerhouse Chaka Khan, jazz great Gladys Knight, and the influential country duo The-Dream. This diverse group represents a rich tapestry of musical innovation and enduring artistry.
While specific dates and venues for the official ceremony are still to be announced, these awards are traditionally presented during Grammy Week, often at a special event leading up to the main Grammy Awards telecast.
