Lionel Richie will be honored as the 2016 MusiCares Person of the Year on Feb. 13, 2016, two days prior to the 58th Annual GRAMMY Awards, in recognition of his significant creative accomplishments and career-spanning charitable work. Proceeds from the 26th annual benefit gala dinner and concert will provide essential support for MusiCares, which ensures music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need.
Performers for the tribute concert will include GRAMMY winnersLady Antebellum and Pharrell Williams, as well as singer/songwriter Luke Bryan. Rickey Minor, current music director for “American Idol” and past two-time music director for the GRAMMY Awards, will be the evening’s musical director.
