Aerosmith will reportedly be joined by Run-DMC when they perform at the 2020 Grammy Awards.

Variety reports a source says Run-DMC will join Aerosmith for a portion of their performance during the Grammy telecast, which the source says means Aerosmith will be performing a career medley.

Run-DMC famously collaborated with Aerosmith on “Walk This Way,” which was featured on their 1986 album Raising Hell and yielded one of the most iconic music videos of all time.

Two nights before the Grammys, Aerosmith will be honored as the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year at the MusiCares Person of the Year Gala.

The 2020 Grammys will air live on Sunday, January 26 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT on CBS.
