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.
