Organisers for the Grammy Awards have admitted they spoke "prematurely" after announcing a live collaboration with A Tribe Called Quest, Anderson .Paak and Dave Grohl.

While the performance was officially announced earlier this week, it has since been revealed that the Foo Fighters frontman will not be making an appearance.

A spokesperson told Billboard in a statement: "Earlier this week, we announced that Dave Grohl would be performing with Anderson .Paak and A Tribe Called Quest prior to confirming all participants. Dave Grohl will not be part of this performance.

"Unfortunately, our announcement was made prematurely. On behalf of the Recording Academy and AEG Ehrlich Productions, we sincerely apologise to all parties involved for our error."

Among the confirmed artists scheduled to perform are Daft Punk, in what will be their first live gig since 2014. They'll be teaming up with recent collaboration The Weeknd to perform his track 'Starboy'.

Adele, Bruno Mars, Metallica and Alicia Keys are all performing.

Reports claim that Beyoncé, who recently revealed she is pregnant with twins, was spotted rehearsing in a space in LA, which several publications have suggested to mean she may also sing at the ceremony.

Beyoncé has the most Grammy nominations this year, with nine, while Adele follows with five nods.

Kanye West, Drake and Justin Bieber are reportedly panning to snub the awards, citing objections over the "relevance" of this year's nominees.
