Jon Stewart is going to be heading off a musical tribute to Bruce Springsteen. "The Daily Show" star has been announced as the host for the Grammy's MusiCares benefit to honor Springsteen, which is being held on Feb. 8.

In addition, the Recording Academy announced that artists like Mumford & Sons, Elton John, Sting, Neil Young, Kenny Chesney and Marvin Staples will all pay tribute to The Boss. Springsteen has been named MusiCares' person of the year because of his philanthropy and artistic contributions in 2012.

Scheduled to appear at the show are Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Juanes, Jackson Browne and Alabama Shakes. The MusiCares benefit, which is sold out, takes place two days before the Grammys. It will benefit the MusiCares emergency financial assistance and addiction recovery programs.
