Punk pioneers the Ramones are set to receive their first Grammy award when the gongs are given out next February — a mere 14 years since the group last played a note together, reports Billboard.com. The award ceremony is likely to prove a bittersweet experience given that drummer Tommy Ramone — real name Thomas Erdelyi — is the last surviving member of the original line-up. Singer Joey, guitarist Johnny and bassist Dee Dee died within three years of each at the turn of the century.
Joining the Ramones will be Hollywood star Julie Andrews, country singer-songwriter Dolly Parton, jazz drummer Roy Haynes, the Juilliard String Quartet, folk band the Kingston Trio and 101-year-old gospel singer and composer George Beverly Shea.
