Justin Timberlake to perform at the 2013 Brit Awards

Justin Timberlake will perform on stage at this year's Brit Awards for the first time in 10 years.

The singer will take to the stage at London's O2 Arena on 20 February along with the likes of Robbie Williams, Muse, Mumford & Sons and Emeli Sande.

The three time Brit Award winner announced his return to music at the beginning of this year.

The 32-year-old wrote a letter to his fans letting them know he would release a new album later this year.

The first single Suit & Tie has since climbed the charts making it to number one on the iTunes single charts in 31 different countries including the UK.

The singer last performed at the Brit Awards on stage with Kylie Minogue in 2003.

In 2004 he picked up best international album and best international male before taking the best international male title again in 2007.

The former 'N Sync boy band member has also won six Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards.

Brit nominations

The solo artist's first two albums made him one of the most commercially successful singers in the world.
