Joni Mitchell, 80, is one of several big names from the world of music who'll be taking to the stage at this weekend's Grammy Awards.
Mitchell only recently made a return to the stage and performed after suffering a brain aneurysm back in 2015.
The health scare led to Mitchell avoiding the stage as she recovered and also meant she had to re-learn how to play instruments such as the guitar.
During her career, Mitchell has bagged herself nine Grammy Awards and received a lifetime achievement gong in 2002.
She's also bagged herself an impressive 18 nominations overall.
However, this will be the first time she's performed during the ceremony.

She isn't the only singer preparing to grace the Grammy stage for the hotly-anticipated awards do.
Singers Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Travis Scott, Burna Boy, Luke Combs, Billy Joel, and band U2 are scheduled to appear.
British singer Dua Lipa - who recently sparked a war of words with Oasis front-man Noel Gallagher after branding the Britpop band "obnoxious" - will also perform.
News that Mitchell would be making her debut at the Grammys at the age of 80 sparked floods of excitable fans taking to the web to applaud the singer.

The performance will undoubtedly be an emotional one for Mitchell herself given the obstacles she's had to overcome to be able to perform again.
Years after the brain aneurysm, Mitchell told US outlet CBS how she was "learning" to play the guitar again.
"I’m looking at videos that are on the net, to see where to put my fingers," she said.
"It’s amazing… when you have an aneurysm, you don’t know how to get into a chair. You don’t know how to get out of bed. You have to learn all these things again. You’re going back to infancy, almost."
