Elton John has announced a two-year farewell tour, is further canonized in a two hour TV special “Elton John: I’m Still Standing – A Grammy Salute” (CBS, 9 p.m.), an event taped when a lot of performers were around for the Grammys last month.
A roster of mostly contemporary performers pay tribute with his songs, including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Miranda Lambert, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Kesha, Little Big Town, Alessia Cara, Chris Martin, Shawn Mendes, Maren Morris and SZA.
