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 Billboardin 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.
