In a private ceremony on February 12, 2011, The Ramones will receive a Lifetime Achievement Grammy alongside Julie Andrews, Dolly Parton, Roy Haynes, The Juilliard String Quartet, The Kingston Trio, and George Beverly Shea.
Originally formed in New York in 1974, The Ramones’ career spanned 22 years, 14 studio albums, and 2,263 shows, influencing generations of musicians in their wake. Sadly, only drummer Tommy Ramone remains of the original quartet, with Joey, Dee Dee, and Johnny having passed away in 2001, 2002, and 2004, respectively.
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
