MONAE CANCELS AUSSIE FESTIVAL SLOT FOR GRAMMYS PERFORMANCE
Singer/songwriter JANELLE MONAE has followed CEE LO GREEN’s lead and pulled out of a festival in Australia to perform at the Grammy Awards next month (Feb11).
The 25 year old was set to appear at the Good Vibrations weekender in Sydney on 12 February (11) and Melbourne the following day (13Feb11), but Monae has axed the trip Down Under after being asked to sing at the music awards in Los Angeles.
A statement from the festival organisers reads, "We can confirm that Janelle Monae has just been added to the line up to perform at the Grammy Awards on February 13th. This last minute announcement from the Recording Academy unfortunately means that Janelle Monae will no longer be able to appear at the 2011 Good Vibrations Festival as planned." Green announced last month (Dec10) that he was pulling out of the line-up to take to the stage at the Grammys.
