Great accomplishment! And they're the first band!

They won two Grammys for Rumours? I thought it was just Album of the Year?

It was the one and then 2003 Grammy Hall of Fame (Rumours again). I can't be certain but as I recall that's how the press get at more than one.

ETA: apologies, ignore me, reread the press release & see I was incorrect. There have been threads on this in the past and I recalled the possibility being hall of fame or a production award.

^and by production I mean that someone, here I think, once suggested that FM members each received two Grammy's, one as artist and one as producer as the award goes to both. I can't confirm that but thought I'd pass it along. The Grammy site lists two wins but I don't see where it has specifics on the second.

Who wants to bet that it’s the same setlist as the Classic festivals?

I don't think FM is performing an entire concert, more likely 2-3 songs. But even if they were performing an entire concert at this event, it makes sense they would perform the exact same set as they did before- with Buck/Vie on tour right now and the holidays coming up, the band will barely have time to rehearse before the date.

But their next world tour, that's when we'll see some changes to the set list. The question is, how many changes will they be willing to actually make?

The event is from 7:30pm-10pm, and there are at least 6 other people scheduled to perform. Frankly, I'm surprised FM is performing at all, since they are the guests being honored.

Jbrown, you know how much I hate it when I'm questioned!

Is anyone actually going? Expensive but I suppose this is likely a once in a lifetime sort of thing?

Lorde, Harry Styles, John Legend & More to Perform at MusiCares Tribute to Fleetwood Mac

An all-star lineup of performers has been announced to perform at the 2018 MusiCares Person of the Year ceremony.

Fleetwood Mac is being honored with this year's award, making them the first band to receive MusiCares' prestigious Person of the Year award. The ceremony will features performances from a flurry of artists from different parts of the music world. Lorde, Harry Styles, John Legend, Haim, OneRepublic, and Keith Urban will all perform at the ceremony, before Fleetwood Mac closes it out themselves.

In a statement released today (Nov. 10), MusiCares said Fleetwood Mac will "be celebrated for their extraordinary creative accomplishments and significant charitable work."

Proceeds from the annual Person of the Year tribute -- now in its 28th year -- provide essential support for MusiCares, which ensures all music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need. Past MusiCares Person of the Year honorees include Tony Bennett, Bono, Natalie Cole, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Carole King, Lionel Richie, Barbra Streisand, and Stevie Wonder.

The 2018 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute will take place on Friday, January 26th at Radio City Music Hall.
