Sweet dreams are made of reunions. 1980s alt-rock hit makers the Eurythmics will be reuniting after the Grammys for one night and one purpose only: to pay tribute to the Beatles.
According to The Huffington Post, Eurythmics members Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart will take the stage on Jan. 27 to help honor the legendary Beatles for the CBS special The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles.
The special is set to honor the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' now-legendary U.S. performance debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, and will air on Feb. 9 to help commemorate the occasion.
The Eurythmics reunion follows the band's massive success in the 1980s. Though best known for its No. 1 single "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)," they also reached No. 4 with "Here Comes The Rain Again" and four of the band's albums in the '80s went gold or platinum.
The Eurythmics originally disbanded in 1990 following a rift between the members, though Lennox and Stewart reunited in 1999 for the album Peacebefore once again parting ways in 2005.
The Beatles tribute performance will reportedly be a one-off event.
It has yet to be confirmed what song Eurythmics will tackle, but some performances have been confirmed in the all-star lineup. John Mayer and Keith Urban will tackle "Don't Let Me Down" and Alicia Keys and John Legend will perform a soulful take on "Let It Be." Joining all these bands will be Maroon 5, with another unannounced song.
