Grammy Award-winning lead singer of the Rolling Stones Mick Jagger will perform live on “The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards,” which will be broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. Feb. 13 on CBS.

Jagger, accompanied by Raphael Saadiq and his band, will perform as part of the telecast’s annual “In Memoriam” tribute, which pays homage to music community members who have passed away in the previous year.

In his first-ever live appearance on the Grammy stage, Jagger will be accompanied by soul singer Saadiq and his band in honor of one of his longtime idols, recently deceased Grammy winner Solomon Burke, according to a news release.

Jagger has only made one appearance before on the Grammy telecast (with the Rolling Stones), via satellite from London during “The 28th Annual Grammy Awards” in 1986 when Eric Clapton presented the Rolling Stones with The Recording Academy LIfetime Achievement Award.
