Chris Brown canceled his 2009 Grammy performance after the very public assault against his former girlfriend Rihanna (who was also scheduled to perform that night), but this year the singer will make his official return to the stage. The Associated Press reports that Brown will perform at the 2012 Grammy Awards, along with Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Coldplay, Adele, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and more.

Despite being nominated in years since, Brown has not attended the ceremony. The performance is not meant to be formally announced prior to the show. Brown is up for three Grammys, including Best R&B Album for his 2011 opus, F.A.M.E., as well as Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for his track "Look At Me Now," which also features Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.

Rihanna is also slated to attend on Sunday. She's set to take the stage with Coldplay and is up for a handful of her own awards including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Loud as well Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "What's My Name?" which features Drake.

Rihanna and Brown have recently denied rumors that they are romantically involved with one another. However, the twosome was spotted at the same Super Bowl party over the weekend in Los Angeles, though reportedly they didn't cross paths.

Rihanna and Brown won't be the only two A-listers taking the stage at Sunday's show. Adele, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Aldean and Nicki Minaj are also confirmed to perform live at the 54th annual awards show, which will be hosted by LL Cool J and take place in Los Angeles.
