Great mews!
Famed rockers U2 are getting the Persons of the Year Award from Musicares in February.
Ironically, Bono received the same award solo in 2003.
But U2 — which includes The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr, and Adam Clayton — have been incredibly philanthropic in that time, and have never hesitated to speak out on world issues. They deserve it!
This does mean guests at the event, which has moved to the Peacock Theater in LA Live this time, will be hearing a dozen or more stars performing U2 hits. And who knows, maybe the group will take the stage for one or two songs themselves!
If you don’t know already, Musicares is the central charity in the music world, and from the Recording Academy. They are key for musicians around the world to get financial help for a variety of illnesses and conditions and every kind of situation that hinders them from earning a living group. Donations to Musicares are essential if you’re a music fan.
You can buy tickets here. I would hurry if I were you!
