Jay Z has been lined up to perform a medley of his hits at the Brit Awards next February. It is understood Jay-Z will team up with another performer when he takes to the stage, believed to be either Alicia Keyes, Coldplay's Chris Martin or his wife Beyonce Knowles.
"Jay-Z is confirmed as one of the key performers," a source told The Sun newspaper. "In weak years there have been problems securing the big international artists. But knowing Jay-Z is there will help to secure other big acts now."
Organisers are keen to book as many big names as possible as next year's show marks the 30th anniversary of the awards. Robbie Williams will close the show, as he will take home the Outstanding Contribution To Music accolade. Other artists set to perform are a closely guarded secret, but UK rockers Kasabian are said to be in the running.
The ceremony will be hosted by British comedian Peter Kay, and will take place at London's Earls Court on February 16. More discussion on this possible Jay-Z/Chris Martin collaboration at the Brits is here at the Coldplay forum now.
