Music superstar Prince was among a fresh crop of Grammy presenters announced Thursday by the Recording Academy for its 50th annual awards ceremony on Sunday.
Quincy Jones has also been added as a presenter, which places more weight on the likelihood of a rumored segment featuring fellow added presenter Akon, Fergie, Kanye West and will.i.am performing their reworked tracks from Michael Jackson's "Thriller 25" anniversary CD. Jones produced the original record-setting album in 1983.
Another long-rumored segment, a duet between Tina Turner and previously-announced performer Beyonce, was finally confirmed Thursday by the Recording Academy. Also announced was a special performance featuring jazz pianist Eldar, rap-rocker Kid Rock, jazz saxophonist Dave Koz and jazz/pop singer Keely Smith.
Other added presenters in addition to Prince, Quincy Jones and Akon include Stevie Wonder, Jason Bateman, Tony Bennett, Cher, Nelly Furtado, Tom Hanks, Joe Mantegna, Ringo Starr, Dave Stewart and Taylor Swift.
