LOS ANGELES: Legendary rocker Mick Jagger, folk icon Bob Dylan and veteran diva Barbra Streisand will join rising stars and seasoned chart-toppers Sunday at the music industry's annual Grammys awards bash.

Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and teen sensation Justin Bieber are also on a star-studded roster of performers at the show in Los Angeles, where rapper Eminem hopes to seal a comeback year with a brace of awards.

While showcasing new talent, the glittering evening will also pay tribute to past greats including “The King of Rock 'N Soul” Solomon Burke, who died last year, and ailing soul legend Aretha Franklin.

Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and Florence and the Machine singer Florence Welch will stage a combined “Valentine's” and “get-well” tribute for Franklin, recovering from reported cancer surgery.

“The special segment will feature individual and collective performances of some of the Queen of Soul's classic hits,” said the organizers ahead of the three-and-a-half hour 53rd Grammys show at the Staples Center in downtown LA.

Dylan, appearing at the Grammys for his fifth time, will perform with country-tinged Brits Mumford and Son and folk-rock band the Avett Brothers in a special salute to acoustic music, organizers said.

In other new announcements Thursday three days before the show, they said rapper Dr. Dre will appear, in his first live television performance for more than a decade.

The Grammys are the music industry's equivalent of the  Oscars, the climax of Hollywood's annual awards season that this year takes place in barely two weeks' time, on February 27.
