ONLY 4 DAYS ...


Ringo has confirmed he will reunite with Paul to mark 50 years since the Beatles arrived in America at the Grammys.

The pair will join forces for a TV tribute to their appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show', which is linked with this year's Grammy Awards, although they are yet to confirmed they will perform at the ceremony. 

Speaking in Los Angeles on Monday Ringo told Access Hollywood: 'To celebrate the 50 years since we landed in New York in February [1964], they are putting on a big show on Monday and we will be doing it there.'

The duo will also accept a lifetime achievement award on behalf of the Fab Four during the ceremony, while Paul also has nominations for best rock song and music film.


The last two surviving Beatles will work together on a one-off show which will be filmed on January 27, the day after the Grammy Awards, at the Ed Sullivan Theater.




'The Night That Changed America: A Grammys Salute to The Beatles', will pay tribute to their legacy with performances from the likes of John Mayer and The Eurythmics.

There is also speculation that the pair will perform alongside Beyonce, Daft Punk and Lorde at the ceremony and the rumours are yet to be denied. 

Both artists are up for gongs, with Paul nominated for the track 'Cut Me Some Slack' - a collaboration with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic - in the Best Rock Song category, and his 'Live Kisses' DVD up for Best Music Film. Ringo will be honoured with the 2014 Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award.

The 56th annual Grammy Awards 2014 will be broadcast live from on the CBS network on January 27 in the US from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Ken Ehrlich, who is producing the event in Los Angeles on January 27, said: ‘When it came around to booking this show, what I felt was important was to try and find those artists who not only would be able to interpret Beatles songs, but would also have an understanding of what they meant.’
The special will air on CBS on February 9 - exactly 50 years after the Beatles made their US debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.



An estimated 73 million viewers tuned in to watch the event, which has become one of the world's top cultural moments.
'They really did change people's lives, so what I'm hoping this show ... gets across is the message that occasionally in history we are touched by certain artists who have a profound effect on us beyond just the music that they make,' Ehrlich said. 
The special will include about a dozen performances, Ehrlich said. More performers will be announced at a later date.
