Joni Mitchell’s remarkable comeback continues with the announcement today (Jan. 28) that she will perform for the first time ever at next week’s Grammy Awards. The 80-year old legend, whose surprise 2022 Newport Folk Festival set is nominated for best folk album, joins a lineup also featuring Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, U2, Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, Burna Boy, Luke Combs and Billy Joel.
Mitchell, 80, suffered a brain aneurysm in 2015 and her Newport appearance was just her second time on stage in front of a large audience since 2013. Since then, she’s performed live again on several occasions with Brandi Carlile.
