BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Warming Up at the Grammys

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have joined the list of artists performing at the Grammy Awards on February 12th. It will be the first E Street Band performance without sax player Clarence Clemons, who died last June following a massive stroke. Springsteen will likely play "We Take Care of Our Own," the first single off his album Wrecking Ball, in stores March 6th. Ironically, Springsteen isn't a fan of the Staples Center, where the Grammys are being held. He did the first-ever show there in 1999 and hasn't been back since because he doesn't like the number of luxury boxes.

Springsteen is nominated for one Grammy -- The Promise is up for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. He last performed on the Grammy stage in 2006, when he did an acoustic version of "Devils and Dust" and took part in a tribute to New Orleans, joining Sam Moore, Elvis Costello, The Edge, Bonnie Raitt , Dr. John and others for "In the Midnight Hour." And in 2003, he and The E Street Band did "The Rising," and he joined in on a tribute to the late Clash singer Joe Strummer, doing "London Calling."

Also just announced -- Ringo Starr will be one of the presenters. His former bandmate, Paul McCartney, will perform. The Grammy Awards air live on CBS at 8p.m. ET.
