Muse to perform at Grammys

With the number of performances scheduled for the 2011 Grammy Awards, it’s no surprise that they keep the thank you speeches short. It’s just been announced that the English rock trio, Muse, will be joining the ever-growing star-studded roster of Grammy performers.

Last November, Muse took home an American Music Award for Favorite Artist in the Alternative Rock Music Category.

In December, the group was nominated for three Grammy Awards:  Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for their song Resistance; Best Rock Song – (Resistance), and Best Rock Album: (The Resistance).

Based on U.S. airplay and sales, Muse was named the Billboard Alternative and Rock artist for 2010. Muse lead singer Matt Bellamy has been dating actress Kate Hudson since spring 2010, and this month it was announced that she is pregnant with his child.

The alternative rock band will be joining Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Eminem, Cee Lo Green, Miranda Lambert, Justin Bieber, B.o.B., Lady Antebellum, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe. It’s rumoured that Justin Bieber may perform alongside his mentor, Usher, and the young actor Jaden Smith.

The awards will be held on Sunday, February 13, 2011 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
