Special Look: Joe Perry Joins Pitbull, Robin Thicke, Travis Barker at Grammys Rehearsal
With Monday’s Grammy Awards ceremony approaching, musicians continue hitting the STAPLES Center stage in preparation for their performances.
Among the performers to take the stage were Pitbull, Robin Thicke, and Travis Barker, who united to perfect their planned collaboration.
Upon announcing the number, CBS and the Recording Academy teased that “special guests” would join the aforementioned three names on stage.
While not officially announced on any Grammys press material, word had already emerged that Joe Perry is one of those special guests. Perry accordingly joined Pitbull, Thicke, and Barker at a recent rehearsal.
The foursome will presumably play their collaborative single “Bad Man.” (Edit: The artists indeed played “Bad Man,” and the song’s producer Ricky Reed played guitar during the performance)
The 58th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony airs Monday night at 8PM ET/5PM PT. In advance of the broadcast, CBS shared photos from the preparation session:
