Pink is set to make a special appearance at the Oscars.
The 'Just Give Me a Reason' hitmaker has joined the list of performers that will take to the stage at the 86th annual ceremony in the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 2.
Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a statement: "We are very excited to welcome Pink to the Oscar stage for the very first time. She is regarded as one of the greatest voices in pop music and one of the best performers of her generation, and we are thrilled to have her join us for a highly anticipated moment on the broadcast."
The Grammy Award-winner, 34, shared her excitement about her upcoming performance on Twitter on Friday (21.02.14), writing: "Big news!!! I'd like to thank @TheAcademy for inviting me to perform on the #Oscars on March 2nd!! #holycow."
The show's host Ellen DeGeneres also tweeted: "Big news! @Pink is performing at the #Oscars! I don't know what she has planned, but I'm bringing my safety net just in case."
Earlier this week it was revealed that Bette Midler would also be taking to the stage to sing at the event for the first time.
It is not yet known what song the 68-year-old 'Wind Beneath My Wings' hitmaker, who was nominated twice for Best Actress in the past, will perform at the star-studded event.
U2 and Pharrell Williams will also be performing.
The Irish rockers will sing their track 'Ordinary Love' from the film 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,' which is nominated for best Original Song, while Pharrell will sing his nominated hit 'Happy' from the film 'Despicable Me 2.'
'Frozen' star Idina Menzel will sing 'Let It Go' from the film and Karen O will sing 'The Moon Song' from the movie 'Her', which are also both nominated in the category.

Cressida Bonas doesn't want to look like she gets her hair done professionally.
The blonde beauty - who is dating Britain's Prince Harry - is a regular at RealHair salon on Cale Street in London's Chelsea and although she pays $250 for a quick cut and blow dry, she would rather go for a low-key look.
A source told vanityfair.com: "When Cressida comes in she says 'I want it blown out, but I don't want it to look like I got it done.'"
Cressida is "pretty laid back" about her style and prefers to embrace a casual look.
A source added: "Cressida is all about low maintenance and looking stylish with minimal effort.
"She likes to be low-key and she is pretty laid back when it comes to her appearance. Kate is meticulous about her hair and makeup, but Cressida just sticks on a beanie hat and maybe a bit of lip balm."
Her relationship with Harry seems to be going well since the young royal is believed to have given her free-rein of Buckingham Palace by allowing her to enter the palace grounds without being searched.
A source previously said: "Cressida has been staying with Harry pretty much every night for the last few weeks. So Harry felt it was sensible that she got the security clearance to come and go as she pleases, instead of always having to enter with him.
"She's now on first name terms with all the security guards, and uses all three entrances to the palace."

Jessica Biel will be an "incredible" mother when she has children.
The 'Total Recall' actress married singer Justin Timberlake in November 2012 and her friend, actress Beverley Mitchell, thinks the pitter patter of tiny feet could be in her future soon.
Beverley - who is herself a new mother - said: "Jess is incredible with children. She's got such great instincts. She's so fun and goofy and kids love her. She'll be an incredible mom. No doubt, no question."
Beverley also speaks very highly of Justin, 33, describing him as a wonderful husband who makes Jessica, 31, happy.
She added to America's OK! magazine: "They're perfect for each other and they're happy, so that's all that matters."
Although they have a strong bond, Justin's grandmother, Sadie Bomar, says she worries that they spending so much time apart - with him on the road and her shooting movies - that she worries for them.
Sadie said: "They are married but they are so busy, both of them, it's hard going.
"I'm sure when it's right to have children they will, but not now.
"They do love each other dearly but they are apart so much it's going to be hard going for them."

Ellie Goulding had to revisit her childhood to beat her panic attacks.
The 27-year-old star - who this week was named Best British Female at the BRIT Awards - suffered from anxiety which prevented her from living a normal life, so she underwent Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which forced her to face her past, to tackle the issues she was facing.
She explained to LOOK magazine: "[Having the attacks] was the weirdest time of my life. Horrible things would go through my mind, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I got to the point where I couldn't even get into the car and go to the studio. Then I went to see an amazing woman to have CBT and she flushed everything out. It took going back to my childhood, but the attacks slowly stopped."
The 'Burn' singer - who has one brother and two sisters - was just five years old when her her dad, Arthur, walked out on her family and she and her siblings were raised by their mother Tracey.
Since the therapy, Ellie - who is reportedly dating McBusted bassist Dougie Poynter - now feels stronger than ever as a person.
She added: "My confidence has grown in the past year as a woman. I'm strong in more ways than one at the moment."

Colin Farrell loves filming sex scenes.
The Irish actor has had on-screen encounters with leading ladies including Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayek and Rosario Dawson and says he can think of worse ways to spend his time on set than frolicking with some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
The 37-year-old star quipped: "There are worse days at the office. Maybe that's awfully cheap and sleazy of me!"
Colin - who has Henry, four, with ex-girlfriend Alicja Bachleda-Curus and James, 10, with another ex; model Kim Bordenave - isn't so keen on green screen scenes, such as in his latest movie, 'A Winter's Tale', where he had to straddle a barrel to make it look like he was on a flying horse.
He added to Us Weekly magazine: "That was one of my more mortifying experiences."
Colin also protests he is a true romantic, like his character, Peter, in the new movie.
He added: "He wasn't looking for love, but all of a sudden, the world opens up to him. Love really is all you need."

Matthew McConaughey admits taking a break from Hollywood was life-changing.
The hunky star - who has children Levi, five, Vida, four, and one-year-old Livingston with his wife Camila Alves - stepped away from acting for two years in 2009 so he could focus on fatherhood, and he believes the time away was good for his career.
McConaughey - who has won a slew of awards and received an Oscar nomination for his performance in 'Dallas Buyers Club' - explained: "I just needed to let time catch up with me."
The 44-year-old actor is now starring in a hit HBO TV series 'True Detective', which will see him play a tortured detective opposite his long-time friend Woody Harrelson, and he insists he decided to take on the role in order to keep his family happy but still keep his career alive.
He explained: "Part of it is just growing up and part of it is I'm very turned on and excited about all kinds of things. Probably more now than I used to be.
"I work hard to maintain the good things in my life that I've built - friendships, work, family, my own time. Sometimes you've got to go, 'Ah man, I haven't seen my brother in three months.' But it feels really great when you can think, 'Boy, all my relationships are good, people that I love are good, and my relationship with them is good. My career, I'm dialled, it feels good. Health Is good.' "

Rita Ora says "everyone" will watch the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie.
The 'R.I.P.' singer has her first big-screen speaking part as lead character Christian Grey's sister, Mia, in the hotly anticipated erotic thriller and insists people will watch in either "confidence" or "secret".
Talking to London's Capital FM Radio station, she said: "I know everybody's going to watch it, whether it's in secret or confidence, but everyone's going to watch it.
"It's going to be fun. I look really different and it was a good experience."
Rita - who is dating DJ Calvin Harris - "loves" E. L. James' erotic trilogy which the forthcoming film is based on and is delighted she was cast in the production.
The blonde beauty added: "The movie is amazing, it's such a great passionate movie. I had to be involved, I love the books."
Sam Taylor-Wood's 'Fifty Shades of Grey' tells the story of sadomasochistic billionaire Christian Grey's (Jamie Dornan) romance with Anastasia 'Ana' Steele (Dakota Johnson).

Robert Downey Jr. struggled with the technological demands needed for 'Gravity'.
The 48-year-old actor was initially cast in the award-winning space odyssey - which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney - but had to step down after he didn't have the space needed to "breathe" and "improvise".
Director Alfonso Cuaron told The Hollywood Reporter: "It became very clear that, as we started to nail the technology, or narrow the technology, that was going to be a big obstacle for his performance.
"I think Robert is fantastic if you give him the freedom to completely breathe and improvise and change stuff. [But] we tried one of these technologies and it was not compatible. And, after that, we [had a] week that we pretended as if nothing was happening and then we talked and said, 'This is not going to work. This is tough.'"
It was not until Warner Bros. gave the film the go-ahead that Cuaron began casting talks.
He added: "It was not until some elements came into place that we could responsibly go to the studio and say, 'We can set a start date.
"Then you can do offers, and that is when we went after Sandra [Bullock] and George [Clooney]."
'Gravity' has 10 nominations at the 86th Academy Awards nominees including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress and the film was also awarded six BAFTA Awards, including Outstanding British Film and Best Director.

Ne-Yo's next album will be "predominately R&B".
The 'Let Me Love You' hitmaker has thanked the dance world for "accepting" him but claims he will be returning to his musical roots for his upcoming record.
He told Billboard: "As of right this second my main focus is my new album. It'll be out probably towards the summertime, predominately R&B this time.
"I had a little stint with the dance music and all of that, which I had a good time with - and I love the audience, I love them for accepting me doing it - but I had to go home on this one. Had to take it back to my roots, and not to say that there won't be one, maybe two songs on there that the dance crowd can get into, but the majority, the girth of the album, will be R&B."
As he prepares for the R&B revival, the singer-songwriter dropped a new mixtape, '3 Simple Rules', on Valentine's Day (14.02.14), and he revealed he has waited to return to his old sound for the past few years.
He said: "But [I didn't], just from the standpoint of being a pioneer, leading people into whatever the next thing was gonna be. There wasn't a lot of R&B cats doing songs at 120 beats per minute before 'Closer,' which I take full credit and responsibility for.
"That's all good, but it was an experiment. You experiment with something, if it goes good, cool, but you never forget where you come from and R&B is where I come from."
And when he's not busy recording his own material, he's writing for the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna and Celine Dion and is also grooming his own talent with Compound Entertainment, he said: "I have a few artists under me right now that I'm putting together. I pray that the stuff will be next year, but at the end of the day, until it's right, I can't put it out. It's gotta be right. I try not to be a perfectionist, I try not to be too hard on them but at the end of the day, it's gotta be right."

Joss Stone, Bryan Ferry, Burt Bacharach and The Jacksons have joined the line-up for this year's Henley Festival.
The event, which takes place from July 9 to 13 on the banks of the River Thames, will also feature comedy shows, art and sculpture exhibitions and street theatre performances.

Prince thinks people don't understand "real musicians" any more.
The 'Purple Rain' hitmaker, who continues to excite fans with his guerilla-style gigs in the UK with rock quartet 3RDEYEGIRL, feels artists like Jack White and Lianne La Havas aren't getting the recognition they deserve.
In an exclusive interview in the new edition of MOJO magazine, he said: "People don't understand real musicians anymore. Jack White is great, he's the real thing, but he isn't having hits. Why aren't Vintage Trouble or Lianne La Havas having hits?"
MOJO were also given an exclusive premiere of his latest album, PLECTRUM ELECTRUM, which includes new track TICTACTOE, recorded in London.
Prince said: "We recorded it in Bryan Ferry's studio in London, after a night of partying for which the Cocteau Twins was the soundtrack. You can't understand the words of Cocteau Twins songs but their harmonies put you in a dreamlike state."
Talking about his new band 3RDEYEGIRL, he said: "To get in this world you've got to be good. We ain't no punks. These girls have got to put up with me 24/7, which is not an easy job."
The 55-year-old singer started his run of London shows last month with a surprise 'sound-check' at Camden's Electric Ballroom and he has since performed a second show at the venue, as well as sets at Koko in Camden, Soho jazz club Ronnie Scott's, Shepherd's Bush Empire and Kings Place in King's Cross, with more shows to be announced, including a show in Manchester.
MOJO's in-depth cover article spans 16 pages of the new issue, on sale in the UK from next Tuesday (25.02.14).

Lateysha Grace says the new series of 'The Valleys' is like a "live sex show".
The reality star and her co-stars are set to embark on a boozy tour of the country as they take their Cardiff-based club night 'Valleywood Nights' to several cities across the UK, but she claims Ireland has been the most scandalous stop so far.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Dublin was definitely the wildest. At one point there were loads of us on the stage at the same time and it was like a live sex show. Everyone was kissing, not really having sex but humping each other, licking people's boobs. It was just crazy."
The feisty blonde claims the debauchery doesn't end there, as she admits her behaviour is just as wild when she parties with her friends outside of the MTV show.
She added: "All my friends are just the same as me really, we like to have a laugh. I've [kissed] my friends and stuff. I've never had a threesome but I would probably have one in the future. I wouldn't say no to it. It would definitely be a girl and a guy."
Lateysha will return to 'The Valleys' house in Cardiff along with fellow housemates Darren Chidgey, Natalee Harris, Carley Belmonte, Jenna Jonathan and twins Anthony and Jason Suminski. With the departure of Liam Powell at the end of series two, newcomer Jack Watkins is set to stir things up, while Nicole Morris - who got the boot last year - is forced to campaign for her place back in the house.
'The Valleys' returns to MTV on Tuesday, February 25 at 10pm.
