This year’s Grammy line-up just keeps getting better. Today it was announced that Dr. Dre will be performing at the event alongside Eminem, who is up for 10 awards this year. This will be Dre’s first performance on live television in a decade, so perhaps it’s only fitting that he’ll be rapping alongside his protege.
That isn’t to say that Dre hasn’t been busy over the past 10 years. Following the success of his 1999 album, 2001, Doc decided to focus on production—co-producing Eminem’s milestone The Marshall Mathers LP, and manning the boards for everyone from Gwen Stefani to 50 Cent. He’s also been working on what is supposed to be his long-awaited final album, Detox, and helped launch a high performance brand of headphones, Beats By Dr. Dre, back in 2008.
However, that won’t be the only all-star collaboration this weekend as rock legend (and 10-time Grammy award and lifetime achievement winner) Bob Dylan will join nominee Mumford & Songs, as well as the Avett Brothers , for “a salute to acoustic music.” Unlike Dre, Dylan has continued to consistently release new music over his five-decade long career, with his 34th studio album, Christmas In The Heart, released in 2009.
