The Washington Post is reporting that discussions are underway for a Sly and the Family Stone reunion performance at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8 in Los Angeles, starring none other than the reclusive Sly Stone.
Stone last performed live in 1987, and has not made a major appearance since Jan. 12, 1993 – the day he and the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Stone wrote and performed hits including “Dance to the Music,” “I Want to Take You Higher,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” “Family Affair” and “Everyday.
The band was also the first successful integrated rock band.
The Post reports that “he had developed an all-consuming cocaine addiction, and he soon faded from the spotlight. Speculation on the whereabouts and condition of Sly Stone has been a pop pastime for decades.”
