It was just announced that we're all being treated to special performance by George Strait and Garth Brooks, in honor of Dick Clark.

Both George and Garth are the two most recent winners of the ACM Artist of the Decade Award, which is being renamed the ACM Dick Clark Artist of the Decade Award, to honor Dick. Dick Clark was not just a iconic hollywood figure, but he also had very personal ties to the ACM's, as he was the producer of the awards show for many years.

The ACM's will air live on Sunday, April 7th at 8 p.m. ET on CBS so set that DVR now!
