Earlier this week, the CBS and the Recording Academy confirmed that Demi Lovato, Luke Bryan, Meghan Trainor, and John Legend would be performing a tribute to Musicares Person of The Year Lionel Richie at this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony.

At one point, Richie would join the foursome to perform one of his biggest career hits.

Friday, the artists united to rehearse the number.

Photos from Friday’s rehearsal, interestingly, reveal that Tyrese Gibson took part in the performance. While Gibson’s name has not been formally announced by CBS or the Recording Academy, it certainly appears that he is set to take the stage Monday night.

The 58th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony airs at 8PM ET/5PM PT on February 15. CBS’ rehearsal photos follow:
