Joni Mitchell is set to make her debut performance at the Grammys next month.
The announcement comes as the 80-year-old music icon stands nominated at the awards ceremony on Feb. 4 in the best folk album category for her album "Joni Mitchell At Newport [Live]."
Mitchell will join a long list of prominent performers including Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, Luke Combs, Burna Boy, Olivia Rodrigo, Travis Scott, and U2, who will be performing live from their residency venue, The Sphere, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A nine-time Grammy Award winner with 18 nominations, Mitchell, secured her latest win in 2022 for best historical album with "Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963-1967)," according to People.
Last year Mitchell marked her return to the stage for her first headline show in more than 20 years when she performed at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington state.
She performed for nearly three hours alongside other prominent music figures Annie Lennox, Marcus Mumford, and Brandi Carlile, BBC reported at the time.
It was a triumph for the singer who suffered a near-fatal aneurysm in 2015. As a result, she had to re-learn how to walk, talk, and play the guitar.
"I'm learning," she previously told CBS correspondent Anthony Mason.
"I'm looking at videos that are on the net to see where I put my fingers, you know. It's amazing what an aneurysm knocks out — how to get out of a chair!" she continued. "You don't know how to get out of a bed. You have to learn all these things by rote again.
"I was into water ballet as a kid, and I forgot how to do the breaststroke. Every time I tried it, I just about drowned ... a lot of going back to infancy almost. You have to relearn everything."
