Management for Beyonce and the Foo Fighters have declared their support for the Grammy Awards, and the artists will appear at the show whatever the status of the writers strike.

Mathew Knowles, Beyonce's father and the head of Music World Entertainment, said Beyonce and his artists Solange and Trinitee 5:7 "have been asked to participate and will do so. We have an incredible Beyonce performance that will be announced soon."

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters reconfirmed his band's participation in the "My Grammy Moment" competition.

The band's manager, John Silva of SAM Music Management, said: "We're looking forward to attending this year's Grammy Awards as we do every year. We are hopeful that we will see a resolution to the current situation affecting our entire industry, as Foo Fighters have always had nothing short of amazing experiences with the writers, producers, fellow artists and audiences at the Grammys and every television show the band has ever played."
