Grammy 2025: lifetime achievement awards for Prince and the Clash

They made the history of music, introducing punk and the culture linked to the genre to the masses. Yet the Clash have only won one Grammy Award during their career, that of 2003 for the documentary “The Clash: Westway to the World”, which won the statuette as “Best Long Form Music Video”.

Now for the legendary band that has been orphaned since 2002 of its historic frontman Joe Strummer, who is survived by guitarist Mick Jones, bassist Paul Simonon and drummer Nicky “Trooper” Headon, a second statuette arrives. In fact, at the 2025 Grammy Awards, the Clash will receive a lifetime achievement award. This was announced by the Recording Academy, which organizes the “Oscars of music”. Like the Clash, Prince will also be awarded (who won seven Grammys during his career – out of thirty-two nominations – including “Best Rock Performance” in 1985 with “Purple rain”), Frankie Valli, Taj Mahal and Frankie Beverly . The Lifetime Achievement Awards ceremony will be held on February 1st at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles on the eve of the main ceremony, scheduled for February 2nd. .
