Beatles: Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to perform at the Grammys



Former Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will perform at the Grammy Awards later this month.

McCartney is nominated for four Grammys, including Best Music Film and Best Surround Sound Album (Live Kisses), Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package (Wings Over America), and Best Rock Song ("Cut Me Some Slack" with Nirvana).

The Beatles have been nominated for 25 Grammy Awards through the years; they have won 7 Grammys and have 15 recordings inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame, including “Abbey Road”, “A Hard Day's Night”, “The Beatles (White Album)”, “Meet The Beatles!”, “Revolver”, “Rubber Soul” and “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will be held January 26, 2014 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
