After weeks of speculation, the Police confirmed on Jan 30 that it will reunite to open the 49th annual Grammy Awards on Feb 11 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The group has not performed live since its 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; the Grammy appearance is widely expected to kick off a year’s worth of reunion shows throughout the world.
In other Grammy news, Joan Baez, Melissa Etheridge, Queen Latifah, Stevie Wonder and Chris Rock have joined the roster of presenters.
