An annual tradition honoring entertainers, 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year gala shares a yearly look on who contribute exceptional artistic achievements and philanthropic work this year the event is held at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The Gala, hosted by Eddie Izzard, is held only days prior to the Grammy Awards, will have some big artists joining the event in honoring Paul McCartney. The evening isn’t just about chatting up the new Hollywood Star recipient as there are plenty of performances slated too. Tony Bennett, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, James Taylor and Neil Young are all expected to hit the stage.
The annual Person of the Year tribute is sold out and definitely helps others. It provides essential support for MusiCares, which ensures that music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need.
