It looks like David Bowie isn’t the only music innovator getting a tribute at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards.

Today, the Grammys took to Twitter to confirm pop icon Michael Jackson will also be receiving a tribute – more specifically in honor of the reissue of his classic ‘Off the Wall’ album (1979).  Tapping R&B crooner Miguel, whose career narrative has lent him more comparisons to Prince than Jackson, the Grammys will see the ‘Coffee’ singer serve up a stirring homage to the King of Pop.

Following Rihanna‘s departure from Def Jam, the pressure is on Iggy Azalea to stand tall as the label’s leading lady.

A daunting task considering the former’s epic run at the company?

Perhaps. However, the Aussie rapper needn’t worry about taking on the challenge without the support of ‘Elle’ magazine with whom she teamed up to offer fans the snaps posted above.

Shot to support her new ‘Digital‘ album, her time with the publication’s Canadian arm marks one of many promo points she’ll be stopping at to support the release and its lead single ‘Team.’

Exciting times!
