Coldplay and Rihanna take the Grammy Stage

With a single tweet, Rihanna has gotten everyone even more excited about the Grammy Awards: "My friends @ColdPlay and I will be sharing the stage for a performance at this years Annual Grammy Awards!"

For the first time ever, Rihanna and Coldplay will perform "Princess of China" to a live audience. She followed her initial tweet with this one: "WE reached 2BILLION views on @youtube !!! THANK U!!! I'm in a great mood, and I got some GREAT NEWS!!! PRINCESS OF CHINA #GRAMMYS2012."

Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman has said:  "Our new record is sort of a story; it's not quite a musical, but it's dangerously close. There's a bit of a love-story thread, so we really needed someone to sing even higher than me. [It's] hard, but very possible. You need to be a female really. So, in like a dream scenario, we had a song that I'd secretly kind of written to see if Rihanna would want to sing it. And then the rest of the band wanted to keep it, so we came up with the idea of asking her to sing it with us, and, to our great surprise, she said okay."

As we get closer to the awards night, more performers will be revealed. But we gotta say, this one leaves us very thrilled!
