Blur to perform at Brit Awards

Blur will receive an Outstanding Contribution to Music award at this year's Brit Awards. Previous winners of this category are Paul McCartney, U2, Oasis, Queen, Van Morrison, and Fleetwood Mac, so Blur will be in fancy company. However, they will also perform on the ceremony.

Speaking to British station XFM, bass player Alex James revealed:

"I saw the guys this week, we had a Christmas cuppa, we're going to play, which is brilliant, it's like putting the Blues Brothers back together."

Blur last performed in 2009 at Glastonbury festival and at London's Hyde Park. Maybe they will perform more than once this year, too, but things are uncertain so far. James stated:

"Well, let's hope. I wish I could tell you more. I'm sure it will happen one day but I don't know when. It's quite nice to keep it special."
