Happy Birthday Elvis.

He would be 84 today, and with that, NBC took the opportunity to announce their “Elvis All-Star Tribute,” hosted by Blake Shelton, set to air February 17th, 2019.

Featuring an all-star cast of performers that includes Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, Alessia Cara, Shawn Mendes, Adam Lambert and Kelsea Ballerini, Blake Shelton, John Fogerty, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, Josh Groban, Darius Rucker, Pistol Annies, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town and Mac Davis, NBC recreated the look and feel of the famed Elvis “’68 Comeback Special.”

According to Variety, Keith Urban personally requested Post Malone for a duet on ‘Baby What You Want Me to Do,’ a section of the show which recalls the part when Elvis and his band were just casually playing together onstage. When I asked Post Malone about performing it, he said, ‘Oh, yeah, the Jimmy Reed song.’”
