Costello, Springsteen Clash Tribute At Grammys
While we're still getting rumors in from various European newspapers about
this apparent "Bruce Springsteen / Clash" performance (we've even received
rumors that they're playing a CBGBs gig), here's a bit of CONFIRMED news. At the
upcoming Grammy awards, Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Tony Kanal (No Doubt),
and Steve Van Zandt (E Street Band) will perform together in a special tribute
to Joe Strummer and the Clash. You can see the recording industry's press
release here.
Note that as of this time that Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame performance is purely
speculation and hasn't been confirmed by anyone. In fact, Paul Simonon has been quite vocal that the band would not reunite
at an event where tickets cost $1500.
