The Ramones to Receive Lifetime Achievement Grammy

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

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,

2004, respectively.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
