For quite obvious reasons, Id imagine thats an unlikely choice.
Maybe because they're playing in Utah that night, they'll perform an Osmonds song instead. After "Days of our lives", they've obviously metamorphosised into a wholeseome act aimed at ageing housewives, so they may as well take it a step further.
Do these awards not normally just honour American artists? Or is a case of honouring releases in the American market - regardless of the nationality of the artist? |

Gazza, it's not strictly American artists. Last time I watched was back in '95 when they gave Zeppelin a Lifetime Achievement award. Page & Plant performed a rehearsal (and reworked) version of 'Black Dog', which can now be found on the UnLedded DVD. John Paul Jones also jammed with Tom Jones.
A little too much information perhaps? |

The need to play something "fast", a slow number as SOL is a letdown. U2 played a ballad on the Grammy's and the public reaction was almost zero. |
