Rihanna has revealed she won't be performing at this year's Grammy Awards, despite being nominated for two accolades.

The singer told US radio DJ Carson Daly she wasn't invited to perform at Sunday's event after her violent bust-up with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown caused a sensation at last year's ceremony.

She said: 'We messed up the show pretty bad last year, so they're probably a little mad at me right now.'

The couple, who were on their way to the Grammy's when Brown attacked Rihanna, were both scheduled to perform at the awards bash but cancelled at the last minute.

The altercation became the main talking point of the event and saw a hastily put together ensemble of Al Green, Justin Timberlake, Boyz II Men and Keith Urban perform in her place.

mmm...why should she be banned? Bit old fashioned in my opinion.

They should have invited her back. By not inviting her it's almost as if they're blaming her for the attack.
