Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has heightened speculation that he will be appearing for a Beatles reunion performance at the Grammy Awards after he confirmed he would be reuniting with Paul McCartney for a tribute to the iconic band.
Speaking in Los Angeles yesterday (20 January 2014) at an awards gala hosted by the David Lynch foundation, Starr confirmed the two surviving Beatles would be coming together for a one-off show. However he revealed that it was for the special Grammy Awards tribute to the Beatles that takes place on Monday (January 27), the day after the official awards show.
“To celebrate the 50 years since we landed in New York in February [1964], they are putting on a big show on Monday and we will be doing it there,” Starr told Access Hollywood. However speculation has mounted that the pair will also perform at the Grammy Awards alongside Beyonce, Daft Punk and Lorde.The reason for the growing rumour mill relates to the fact the duo will be in attendance and there is yet to be a denial from either camp.

The Night That Changed America: A Grammys Salute to The Beatles, will pay tribute to their legacy with eclectic performances from the likes of John Mayer and The Eurythmics.
If the pair are performing at the Grammy Awards it is likely to be a surprise performance that will be revealed on the night. Meanwhile fans can tune into the Beatles tribute show on January 27 on CBS.
