"After The Warning kick things off with a crushing, cymbal-filled rendition of "La Bamba," Idol makes his appearance, belting out the chorus to "Twist and Shout" as the Villarreal sisters lend tandem backing vocals. Then, as the medley shifts back into "La Bamba," The Warning's Dani Villarreal takes over lead vocals again during the Spanish verses while Idol adds the accompaniment, with a nifty guitar solo by Stevens in the middle of the performance."
"It was one of the heaviest moments of the night, with the rest of the concert event featuring performances by Andrea Bocelli, Laura Pausini, Prince Royce, Jon Secada, Robin Thicke, and many more. Billed as a celebration of the "the lasting impact and widespread influence of Latin music in the United States," the special aired in the wake of MAGA's uproar over Bad Bunny being chosen for the upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime show in February."
Billy Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens performed a two-song medley with Mexican rock band The Warning on A Grammy Celebration of Latin Music, airing on CBS and Paramount+. The set blended a heavy, cymbal-filled rendition of La Bamba with Idol leading the chorus of Twist and Shout while the Villarreal sisters provided backing vocals. Dani Villarreal reclaimed lead vocals for the Spanish verses as Idol accompanied and Stevens delivered a guitar solo. The appearance occurred amid a star-studded special showcasing Latin artists and followed recent controversy over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime selection. The Warning continues to expand their US presence through touring.
