Lizzo, who is nominated for International Artist of the Year and International Song of the Year for About Damn Time, will also perform at the musical extravaganza, three years after her iconic 2020 performance.

Ella Henderson was also added to the bill, after she released the hit song ‘Crazy What Love Can Do’ alongside David and Becky last year.

David said: “It’s a great honor to be nominated for a BRIT Award as I’ve always felt a strong connection to British music and culture and have had incredible experiences here… ‘I’m Good’ is my seventh album # 1 in the UK so thank you!

“The UK dance scene is full of incredible artists, so to be recognized once again means a lot to me. This collaboration with Bebe is the gift that keeps on giving, and we are both so thankful to be nominated!’

Becky added: ‘My first BRIT performance! This is what dreams are made of and I am so excited to be performing alongside David Guetta, who presented me with my BRIT for Best Dance Performance last year.

“This is a real moment for me and with another BRIT nomination this year it’s an amazing way to start 2023.”

Meanwhile, music bosses are making a bold bid to bring Beyoncé to the BRITs, MailOnline can reveal.

High-level discussions have been held between Sony music executives and the superstar’s team to attend the event on February 11 at London’s O2, where she has been nominated for two gongs, including International Artist of the Year. .

Beyoncé’s attendance would be a boost for the awards show, where she is nominated for her single Break My Soul in the International Song of the Year category.

A music source revealed: “There have been some serious discussions at the top end of the record label for Beyoncé to have a live presence at the BRITs – having the world’s biggest superstar to attend the ceremony would be a huge coup.”

She has been to The BRIT before and sees the event as a key moment on the music calendar and a way to connect with her European fanbase.

“It’s common for some of the biggest acts that take place at the ceremony to be finalized days before, so a deal is still being negotiated and could go all the way.”

“But there’s been a huge push to get her to the ceremony and for her to perform would be the absolute dream setting.”

A source added: “The ceremony schedule is closed, so if Beyoncé were to perform, a shake-up would be necessary, but it’s more likely that she’ll be there as a guest.”

MailOnline has contacted the BRITs and Beyoncé’s spokesperson for comment.
