In what year did the Rolling Stones receive a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award?

The Rolling Stones were given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1986, at the 28th Annual Grammy Awards. The significance of the ceremony was twofold: it marked the first time a rock band received that honor, and the band themselves didn’t show up. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards accepted via satellite from Australia, where they were in the middle of a tour, which felt like a perfect Stones move—defiant, busy, and slightly dismissive of the establishment that was finally recognizing them.
