Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are to perform together at this year's Grammy Awards.
McCartney has been nominated for a number of awards, including Best Rock Song for "Cut Me Some Slack" with Dave Grohl and Krist Noveselic, whilst Starr will be honoured with the 2014 Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony.
Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Fallon performed a spoof version of "Born To Run" on US TV show Late Night last night (January 14).
The song was reworked in reference to the ongoing 'bridgegate' scandal, in which an aide working for New Jersey governor is accused of orchestrating traffic mayhem on the George Washington Bridge connecting New Jersey to Manhattan. The gridlock was allegedly intended to punish a Democratic mayor who did not endorse the governor's re-election.
John Paul Jones has started a new band called Minibus Pimps.
Jones has joined forces with Norwegian musician Deathprod - aka Helge Sten - for the project. The band will release their debut LP Cloud To Ground on March 3, reports Pitchfork. The band have launched their own website website.
Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Robert Plant and Arcade Fire are among the bands playing at this year's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
The event will take place across two weekends: April 25 - 27 and May 1 - 4.
Other artists performing include Santana, Vampire Weekend, Alabama Shakes, John Fogerty, Aaron Neville and Allen Toussaint.

After Lou Reed died on October 27 last year we began discussing how best we could commemorate the man and his tremendous body of work. The natural solution presented itself in the form of an Ultimate Music Guide.
Quickly today, as there’s an issue to be flung together, but a plug in passing for our latest Ultimate Music Guide, on sale today and dedicated to Lou Reed. More on that later.
