Each year, the Grammys pay tribute to one of music's big icons. After giving the special treatment to The Beatles last year, 2015 is going to be all about the legendary Stevie Wonder. Today (Jan. 14), the first round of performers for CBS's special Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life were unveiled, and the program is set to feature some of the biggest names in pop and R&B.
Chris Martin of Coldplay, Janelle Monae, Willie Nelson, Ed Sheeran and Usher will all be on hand to cover and honor Wonder on Songs in the Key of Life, Radio.com reports.

Though the content of the two-hour long special has yet to be revealed, the special takes its name from Songs in the Key of Life, Wonder's landmark 1976 album. That record spawned such Wonder-ful classics like "Isn't She Lovely," "I Wish," "As" and "Sir Duke."
The special follows last year's The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles, which actually featured a performance from Wonder, who tackled the fab four's "We Can Work It Out." Sheeran also appeared on that special, tackling the Beatles classic "In My Life." Other Beatles tribute artists included Katy Perry, John Legend, John Mayer, Maroon 5 and Dave Grohl.
So more big names are sure to be announced for the Wonder tribute.
The special Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life will air on CBS on Monday, Feb. 16, at 9 p.m. The show itself will tape just two days after the Grammys on Feb. 10.
Tickets for the special are on sale now. Prices range from $65 to $150.
