Grammys Add Shelton, Nelson, Haggard, Kristofferson

Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Blake Shelton will share the stage at the upcoming Grammy Awards to pay homage to their roots in Oklahoma and Texas.

This will be Haggard's first-ever performance on the show, according to the Recording Academy. The Grammy Awards will air live on CBS on Jan. 26.

Producer Ken Ehrlich is keeping the details of the segment under wraps, but he did tell CMT.com that bringing the four stars together was "just too good to pass up."

Ehrlich said he wanted the Grammys to get involved in relief efforts after Oklahoma and Texas were ravaged by tornadoes in May. The idea to bring Nelson on board occurred when Ehrlich saw him play at the Hollywood Bowl in August. Read more here.
