MusiCares is The Recording Academy’s charity that provides financial, medical, and personal assistance as well as human services to musicians in need, offering a wide variety of programs in everything from financial assistance to substance abuse treatment. So it’s only fitting that Fleetwood Mac were named the Person of the Year for their “creative accomplishments” and longtime support of multiple charities.
