Chris Brown will
perform Sunday at this year’s Grammy Awards, the event where his career almost
ended three years ago.
This will be Brown's first
appearance at the Grammys since his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna
during Grammy weekend. That year both stars were scheduled to perform, but both
canceled. Rihanna, however, has since appeared on the show.

Despite being nominated in
years since, Brown has not attended the ceremony. The performance is not meant
to be formally announced prior to the show.
Brown is up for three
Grammys, including Best R&B Album for his 2011 opus,F.A.M.E., as well
as Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for his track "Look at Me
Now," which also features Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.
Rihanna is also slated to
attend on Sunday. She's set to take the stage with Coldplay and is up for
a handful of her own awards including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal
Album for Loud as well Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "What's
My Name?" which features Drake.

Brown and Rihanna were
supposed to perform at the 2009 Grammys, but that changed after Brown attacked
the pop singer in the early morning hours before the show. Since then, Brown
hasn’t attended the Grammys, though he was nominated for three awards last
year.

Rihanna and Brown won't be
the only two A-listers taking the stage at Sunday's show. Adele, Katy Perry,
Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Jason
Aldean and Nicki Minaj are also confirmed to perform live at the 54th annual
awards show, which will be hosted by LL Cool J and take place in Los Angeles.
