Rihanna will perform for the fourth time at the BRIT Awards 2016.
The 27-year-old R&B superstar joins previously announced acts Adele, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Little Mix, James Bay, Jess Glynne and The Weeknd at the ceremony.

Former Stone Roses manager Garry Johnson has paid tribute to his hero the late David Bowie.
Gary claims the music legend "changed" his life and was the reason he started up a punk band, The Buzz Kids, because he thought he was like the 'Space Oddity' hitmaker's alter-ego Ziggy Stardust.
In his autobiography 'Punk Rock Stories And Tabloid Tales', which he penned before Bowie's death at the age of 69 in January, he said: "I gave up being naughty, threw away my football boots and bought a guitar. Bowie changed my life. I formed a band but couldn't sing, my punk band was called The Buzz Kids. I thought I was Ziggy Stardust meets Johnny Rotten nobody else did. But people loved my lyrics so I become a Punk Poet and did stand-up ranting supporting punk bands all over the UK. "
However, Johnson soon gave up being a musician and became manager of The Stone Roses.
The 'I Wanna Be Adored' hitmaker's frontman Ian Brown says Johnson is the reason the rockers made it as a band.
He said: "Garry predicted we'd be massive and started a one-man campaign to get us noticed. He launched our career and as they say the rest is history."
Johnson says without Bowie - who he met several times over the years - he'd probably just be a "waste of space" rather than "a rebel with a cause".
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I blagged my way into all the best parties in London and got to meet David Bowie.
"Seeing Bowie and then The Sex Pistols transformed me into wanting to be a rebel with a cause, with a purpose rather than some waste of space."

"So many musicians touch my life and made me who I am... I want to make something great to honor my idols... (sic)."

Tom Parker has likened The Wanted's split to Zayn Malik leaving One Direction.
The 27-year-old singer can empathise with Zayn wanting to lead a "normal life" as the 'Glad You Came' hitmaker experienced a taste of the "intense" lifestyle the 1D lads led.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I was watching an interview with Zayn Malik, he hit the nail on the head. He felt like he didn't have creative input into it, which from my side I feel like we were on the same page, even though we had different tastes. But, I do feel like we were in control. But, I do get what he said about the schedule being so intense. I think for him it was nice to step away from everything and it was the same for us. It has been nice to step away and find my own feet."
And while Tom - who has launched a solo career as a DJ and producer - is enjoying time away from being in the band, he said he'd happily get back together with his former bandmates, Nathan Sykes, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran and Jay McGuiness.
Asked if he'd reunite with The Wanted - who have been on an extended break since 2014 - he said: "100 per cent from my side. I wouldn't even think twice about it. I loved it, I loved being in a band. I love all of the boys."

Zayn Malik wants to collaborate with Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake and Usher.
The 'Pillowtalk' hitmaker is a huge fan of the three "massive icons" and would love the chance to get into the studio with them at some point.
Discussing the trio of pop legends, he said: "I'd love to work with all of them at some point. They're all obviously massive icons in their own right and obviously to be on the same label as them is crazy, so if the opportunity arises, I'm not going to turn any of them names down."
Since he left One Direction, Zayn has been able to take full control of his career and so can pursue any artist he wants to work with,
The 23-year-old singer also accepts he can no longer complain about things he's not happy with regarding his music because he has "full responsibility" for his songs.
Speaking to radio station KISS FM, he said: "I'm in control of things now, so I can't really complain. And if I do complain, or if I do have something to say, people will just turn around and say, well, you decided to do it this way, so it's your fault. Which I kind of like, being the person who takes responsibility and having my neck on the line. Because when we do well then I take the reward for it, as well."
Zayn's debut solo LP, 'Mind of Mine', comes out on March 25, and lead single 'Pillowtalk' is already a global smash having reached number one on the iTunes chart in 60 countries.

Rizzle Kicks have almost completed their third album and have promised it will be "fun".
The rap duo, Harley Alexander-Sule and Jordan Stephens, went on hiatus from performing together for 18 months while they pursued projects on their own, but now they are back and raring to go with their follow-up to 2013's 'Roaring 20s' record.
The record is almost ready and they have revealed they have gone back to their roots for the LP, which will be more like their debut 'Stereo Typical'.
Harley, 24, revealed to Loaded magazine: "The new album is great, really fun. We've taken the Rizzles back to how we were when we started. We never lost sight of who we are or what we love to make. But we've gone, 'Oh yeah, that's why we made Rizzle Kicks!' There's some fun, silly songs on the new record."
And while the 'Mama Do The Hump' hitmakers have opted for a feel good album, there will also be some "more heartfelt" songs in the tracklisting too.
Harley said: "But there are some deep songs on there too, songs which are more heartfelt. But overall, really this record is a lot of fun. It feels a good moment for us again. It's time for us to slot back in."

Anne-Marie has been crowned winner of MTV Brand New 2016 presented by Emporio Armani Diamonds.
The singer - who cut her teeth touring with Rudimental as their live vocalist - faced stiff competition from 10 acts, including multi-instrumentalist Jack Garratt, urban group WSTRN and indie rocker Rat Boy, but it has been confirmed today (02.01.16) that Anne-Marie has claimed the title after winning the public vote with the highest number of votes cast in the history of the competition.

Kate Nash had to cancel her Los Angeles DJ set after getting caught up in a shooting incident.
The 28-year-old British singer - who is working on her fourth studio LP in California - was due to do a show on Saturday (30.01.16), but was forced to lock herself inside her home as armed gunmen paraded through the neighbourhood.
She shared: "I ran downstairs really quietly and locked my front gate as quick as I could, then ran back up, put my alarm on and stayed indoors.
"There were helicopters and sirens sounding until 5am. It was pretty terrifying. I don't scare easily, but I'm so anti-guns."
The 'Foundations' hitmaker described how frightened she was when she witnessed a neighbour caught up in the incident.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We weren't sure what to do about the lights and noise because we didn't want to draw attention but also didn't want the house to seem empty. I have quite a big garden and after they held one of my neighbours up they were on the loose, and we didn't want them looking for a hideout."
Kate took to her Twitter account to inform fans she'd have to pull the gig at Girl School, because she was on "lock down" and told not to leave the house.
On the night, she tweeted: "Due to an unexpected emergency in my neighbourhood, authorities have advised me to stay indoors, on lock down here & I can't get out to DJ. I don't really know what to say, this is freaky & sucks & I'm really sorry I can't be at Girl School. Unfortunately it is just not safe for me to leave my house right now (sic)"
