OMG....concert performances fronted by May and Taylor, presently joined for concert performances by the extraordinary American vocalist Adam Lambert.
Fantastic! Acknowledgement again! I wonder if the concert and awards will be in Cleveland, OH where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is located?

Article from the iHeart stations: www.iheart.com/content/2018-01-09-grammys-to-honor-queen-with-lifetime-achievement-honors/?cmp=managed_national_twitter_trendingGrammys to Honor Queen with Lifetime Achievement Honors Queen is set to receive Lifetime Achievement Honors at this year's Grammys for the band's "prestigious...diverse and influential" career in music. The other honorees are Neil Diamond, Tina Turner, Emmylou Harris, Louis Jordan, Hal Blaine and the Meters. "These exceptionally inspiring figures are being honored as legendary performers, creative architects and technical visionaries," said Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow of the group of honorees. "Their outstanding accomplishments and passion for their craft have created a timeless legacy." Queen's career has spanned over 40 years. The band helped define the term "arena rock" with its legendary live performances and litany of hit songs, many of which get played in arenas around the world (whether Queen is performing there or not). The band authored some of the most recognizable rock songs of all-time and not only withstood but continued to thrive after the 1991 death of iconic frontman Freddie Mercury. The Grammys described the band thusly: "With their sterling song craft, virtuoso musicality, and colossal spectacle of their live performances, Queen—John Deacon, Brian May, [Freddie Mercury], and Roger Taylor—captured hearts and conquered charts like no other band in history, a legacy that continues to live through the ongoing work and concert performances fronted by May and Taylor, presently joined for concert performances by the extraordinary American vocalist Adam Lambert." The 60th Annual Grammy Awards will air on Sunday, January 28. Get more information here.

This has nothing to do with the R&R Hall of Fame and most of the artists mentioned are not rockers. Probably NY or LA. Betting LA, like the post about the 2016 one. The Grammy museum is in Los Angeles.

Technical Grammy awards will be given to Tony Agnello and Richard Factor, whose company Eventide invented and produced a series of groundbreaking audio effects devices. A special award presentation and concert in celebration of these award winners will be held this summer. Additional details on the even are still forthcoming. "This year's Special Merit Awards recipients are a prestigious group of diverse and influential creators who have crafted or contributed to some of the most distinctive recordings in music history," Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a news release. "These exceptionally inspiring figures are being honored as legendary performers, creative architects, and technical visionaries. Their outstanding accomplishments and passion for their craft have created a timeless legacy." Blaine, as founder and drummer of the session group the Wrecking Crew, appeared on albums by the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and countless others. He also collaborated with fellow honoree Neil Diamond on "Song Sung Blue." The Meters toured and performed with legends including Dr. John, Robert Palmer, the Rolling Stones and others, and were Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees this past year.
