Stars are turning out to honor Elvis Presley in a special TV tribute!
Celebs including Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Lopez will take the stage for the Blake Shelton-hosted NBC special, Elvis All-Star Tribute, which will air on Sunday, Feb. 17. The two-hour special is in tribute to Presley's '68 Comeback Special, which marked his return to music after a years-long hiatus.
Additionally, footage and interviews with his wife, Priscilla Presley, and Steve Binder, the director of the original special, plus a special appearance from his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, will also air.
Underwood, Lopez and Shelton aren't the only celebs participating in the event! Yolanda Adams, Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Alessia Cara, Mac Davis, John Fogerty, Josh Groban, Adam Lambert, John Legend, Little Big Town, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, Pistol Annies, Darius Rucker, Ed Sheeran and Keith Urban will also take the stage.
In conjunction with the special, RCA/Legacy Recordings will release a new album, The Best of the '68 Comeback Special. The 19-track album -- which is set to drop Feb. 15 -- will be comprised of "recordings and performances that inspired the upcoming tribute," a press release states.
