Almost a decade after suffering from a brain aneurysm, Mitchell has slowly returned to performing Name a better surprise guest at a concert than Sir Elton John. Over the weekend, legendary folk singer Joni Mitchell performed a rare pair of shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Brandi Carlile, Annie Lennox and Meryl Streep also joined Elton John backing up Joni Mitchell on her "I'm Still Standing" cover.

A proper headlining gig followed in June 2023 at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington, and her soul-scraping turn at the 2024 Grammys allowed an even wider audience to experience the depth and gravitas Mitchell is still capable of bringing to a performance.
