AceShowbiz - Katy Perry is unstoppable. After making live debut of "Chained to the Rhythm" at the Grammys on Sunday, the singer will perform the Skip Marley-assisted track at this year's Brit Award ceremony, which is set to take place on February 22 at London's O2 Arena.
The Brits' officials took to Twitter on Monday, February 13 to announce the news. "Put your rose-coloured glasses on, and party on! @katyperry is performing at The #BRITs 2017 on 22 February!!!" so they tweeted. Meanwhile, the singer responded to the tweet, writing, "YAY 2nd chapter of #ChainedToTheRhythm continues in LONDON!"
The Brit chairman Jason Iley said Perry is "the perfect artist to complete our incredible 2017 line-up." He added, "She's a global superstar who will bring even more glamour, fun and excitement with her exclusive UK Brits performance next week."
Perry, who last performed at the Brits in 2014, said in a statement, "I'm excited to come back to one of my favorite countries, where most of my favorite musical influences come from." She added, "After 3 years, I'm excited to return to the BRITs' stage to kick off a new era of purposeful pop."
Perry, who won the Brit for International Female Solo Artist in 2009, will join previously-announced acts including Ed Sheeran, Robbie Williams, Bruno Mars, Little Mix, The 1975 and more. This year's star-studded ceremony will be hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Emma Willis after Michael Buble pulled out as he wanted to care for his 3-year-old son Noah, who is being treated for liver cancer.
