Less than 24 hours after the curtain falls on the Grammy Awards,
organizers will be ushering music's brightest stars under the spotlight
for another really big show.
The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute To The Beatles
will be taped Monday night at the Los Angeles Convention Center for
broadcast on Feb. 9 (CBS, 8 p.m. ET/PT), exactly 50 years after the
band's first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Paul and Ringo perform at the Change Begins Within Concert in 2009 in New York.
The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas will go
dark Sunday through Tuesday so the troupe can participate in the
all-star concert, first in a rendition of Here Comes the Sun with
Pharrell and Brad Paisley on vocals and then in the night's elaborate
finale, expected to feature Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney performing
together.
The collaboration with Pharrell and Paisley marks the first time LOVE has performed Here Comes the Sun with artists singing and the first time the cast has performed the song outside The Mirage theater.
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart will reunite for one night only as
Eurythmics for the event. Also performing are Maroon 5, Alicia Keys with
John Legend and John Mayer with Keith Urban.
