The GRAMMYs’ first wave of performers is announced
The 57th annual Grammy Awards have announced the first wave of artists that will perform live on the Staples Center stage February 8th. Artists include AC/DC, Madonna, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and Eric Church. The announcement was first made public on the award show’s official Twitter this morning. Rumors that Madonna had been recruited to take the stage were making their rounds late Monday night so those who were waiting with bated breath can now relax.

Her manager Guy Oseary confirmed to Billboard that she will be performing at the 57th annual Grammys. This will be Madonna's fifth time at the event. In 2014, she joined Macklemore & Ryan Lewis for “Same Love” and “Open Your Heart.” The Grammys will also be the public’s first opportunity to look at AC/DC since the group released their new LP “Rock or Bust.” The fate of the entire band may be at stake because the band must decide whether or not to move forward without drummer Phil Rudd. The drummer, who faces drug possession and threatening to kill charges in New Zealand, is due back in court on February 10th, two days after the 57th annual Grammys. Rudd has publicly stated “I want my job back, I want my reputation back and I'm gonna get it back.” Sheeran is up for three awards at this year's Grammys, including Album of the Year for “X.” Ariana Grande was nominated for two awards: Best Pop Duo/Group Performance alongside Jessie J and Nicki Minaj for “Bang Bang” and Best Pop Vocal Album for “My Everything.” Church scored four nominations, most notably Best Country Album for his “The Outsiders.” Expect more performers to be announced as the date of February 8th draws closer and closer.
