Joni Mitchell will be making a rare appearance at this year’s Grammys, where she is due to present an award.The singer-songwriter, who has largely kept out of the public eye since suffering a brain aneurysm in 2015, is also nominated for Best Historical Album for ‘Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963-1967)’.On Friday (April 1), Mitchell was named Person of the Year at the 2022 MusiCares gala.
