Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran, Janelle Monae, Usher and Willie Nelson  have been announced for a huge tribute concert to the genius of Stevie Wonder.

"Stevie Wonder: Songs In The Key Of Life — An All-Star GRAMMY Salute" will take place on 10 Febuary at Nokia Theatre LA LIVE and will be shown on CBS in the US on 16 February. Tickets are on sale now, starting from $65.

Speaking on behalf of all the participants (as well as any right thinking music fan), Sheeran explained "Stevie Wonder is an absolute legend and I am so honored to be a part of this very special night."

Personally we're also particularly looking forward to seeing Janelle Monae's tribute to Wonder - the pair are repeat collaborators, including a United Nations concert in 2012.



A 25-time Grammy winner, Wonder is the only artist to have received Album Of The Year three out of four consecutive years with Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) and Songs In The Key Of Life (1976).

Wonder's last UK gig was at Calling in Clapham in June 2014.
