Nirvana will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Grammy Awards.

Fellow recipients include Niles Rodgers, The Supremes, Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Slick Rick, Bobby McFerrin, and Ma Rainey. The awards will be handed out one day before the Grammy Awards on February 4 at the Recording Academy’s Special Merit Awards Ceremony.

“The Academy is proud to celebrate this diverse slate of influential music people spanning numerous genres and crafts as our 2023 Special Merit Awards honorees,” said CEO of the Recording Academy Harvey Mason Jr. “Each creator on this list has made an impact on our industry – from technical to creative achievements – representing the breadth of music’s diverse community. We’re excited to celebrate this group of legends next month that continues to inspire and shape the music world.”

Nirvana received seven Grammy nominations between 1992 and 1996. Their only win was awarded posthumously in 1996 when they took home the award for Best Alternative Music Performance for their MTV Unplugged performance.

The Grammy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 5 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Trevor Noah will host for his third-straight year. Nominees include Wet Leg, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Florence + The Machine, Arctic Monkeys, and more.
