Beyonce has become the first international star to sign up to perform at the Brits, according to reports.

The Sun said that the singer's appearance at London's O2 will come just a few weeks after she plays America's Super Bowl.

A source said: "Beyonce coming to The Brits is a huge coup for organisers.

"She's among the best live pop acts on the planet and will have brand new material to play for the audience.

"The last time she played The Brits, nine years ago, was at the start of her solo career, singing Crazy In Love. So it's apt that she's back this year."

Beyonce will join One Direction, Mumford And Sons, Robbie Williams and Muse in the line-up on February 20.

The newspaper also said a big-name duet will also be announced for the event, hosted once again by James Corden.
