Rihanna will take the Grammys stage with Kanye West and Paul McCartney


Los Angeles - Rihanna will perform at the Grammy Awards with Sir Paul McCartney and Kanye West.

The 26-year-old star will reportedly take to the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 8 with the Hey Jude singer - who performed at the ceremony with his Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr last year - and the Bound 2 hitmaker for a rendition of their collaboration Four Five Seconds.

The Bajan beauty is delighted to be sharing the stage with the stars.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Rihanna's seriously pleased to have bagged a big slot at The Grammys with two huge names to kick off her comeback.

"Paul McCartney's a Grammys regular and it will give Rihanna serious kudos to have a Beatle backing her on stage. It is going to be a huge Grammys moment."

Paul - who has scooped 18 Grammys in his lengthy career - plays organ on the track, while Rihanna and Kanye share vocals.
