The MusiCares Person of the Year is a career achievement award presented for a combination of inspiring artistic accomplishments and philanthropy.
The gala raises funds for the programs of MusiCares, the Recording Academy charity that provides health and welfare services to musicians in need.
The prestigious honors will be presented in Los Angeles Feb. 3.
