Joni Mitchell was seen out on a very rare outing in LA on Wednesday..
The iconic 81-year-old folk singer looked radiant as she bundled up in a long, black coat and floral leggings while being guided by her male companion and cane.
The star kept a low profile, sporting a dark cap and designer sunglᴀsses as her signature long blonde locks cascaded over her shoulders in braids.
While the Both Sides Now singer rarely ventures out as of late, the star is keeping her musical talents sharp as she gears up to perform at the highly anticipated FireAid benefit concert next week.
Earlier in the day the vocalist took to her Instagram to re-share the relief fundraiser’s star-studded lineup and to promote not just her return to the stage after a three month hiatus, but also the good cause.
Other stars also performing at the event include Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, the Red H๏τ Chili Peppers, Green Day, Jelly Roll, Gracie Abrams, Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Katy Perry.

Last week, sources close to the event confirmed via TMZ that all participating artists are based in Los Angeles, adding a heartfelt local touch to the benefit.
The stakes for FireAid couldn’t be higher. As California faces various destructive wildfires, the Palisades Fire has been noted as one of the most destructive in California history.
More than 100,000 residents of the City of Angels were forced to flee their homes and 27 have been confirmed ᴅᴇᴀᴅ as scattered blazes have continued to pop up in Southern California.
Many famous faces have taken to their social media pages to re-post free resources available to those who have fallen victim or been displaced due to the ravaging wildfires.
Among those impacted were several A-listers who lost their million-dollar mansions though most of the people affected by the fires are neither famous nor wealthy.
Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Miles Teller, Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore and Jen Atkin are among those whose homes have been destroyed by the inferno.
