January 20, 2011 (Sampurn Wire): Eminem has been ruling the charts with his duet with Rihanna Love The Way You Lie, but that surely doesnt give him the hundred percent surety that he is going to bag a BRIT Award. So the rapper has another idea to take home the award and is all set to work on that plan. When the organizers of the BRIT Awards have approached Eminem to perform at the show the singer declined.
But the Recovery maker had not slammed the offer to perform on-stage entirely, he has his clause. Eminem has said that he will do a live show at the award ceremony only if he is awarded at least one trophy from the multiple nominations he has received this year.
Already for the 15th February BRIT Award, event performers like Tina Tempah, Arcade Fire and Adele are scheduled to take the stage for a live performance, even Rihanna is expected to do the hit duet Love The Way You Lie with Eminem. But as things stand at the moment, the fans and the audience might just have to give up on the hope of seeing Eminem perform.
It is also rumored that the Not Afraid hitmaker was irked by the music award folks when the organizers decided to axe the Lifetime Achievement Award this year and now he has decided to pull himself off from the event. Eminem has been nominated in Best International Solo Male Artist and International Album categories. The 2011 BRIT Awards is going to take place at the Londons O2 venue on February 15.
