Lady GaGa is rumoured to be lining up a duet with Muse at this year's Grammy Awards.

The 'Poker Face' popstar has already confirmed that she will premiere her new single 'Born This Way' at the ceremony, but the Daily Star reports that she is also planning to join Muse on stage for a special performance.

The Resistance band's frontman Matt Bellamy, who has frequently spoken of his admiration for GaGa, told radio station Triple J: "I love her music. I think she's an absolutely superb artist and I love the way she dresses. I really like her. I think she's a great artist!"

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast on CBS on February 13.

Sir Mick Jagger will perform at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles this month, organisers have announced.

The 67-year-old rocker will sing as part of a tribute to late soul great Solomon Burke, who opened a number of concerts for the Rolling Stones.

Sir Mick will perform with Raphael Saadiq at the 13 February event.

The Stones performed on the Grammys via videolink from London after Eric Clapton presented them with a lifetime achievement award in 1986.

The Grammys are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Its president and CEO Neil Portnow said organisers were "thrilled, delighted, excited and very much looking forward" to Sir Mick's appearance.

"It's extraordinary to many of us that... he has never performed on the Grammy stage," he said.

Other acts performing at the 53rd Grammys show include Eminem, Usher, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Rihanna and British band Muse.

Burke, who died in October aged 70, wrote the classic song Everybody Needs Somebody to Love.
