Klaxons plan Rihanna Brits collaboration

Klaxons have revealed that they will be performing with Rihanna at this year's Brit Awards.

The nu-rave rockers will perform an electronic version of her number one single 'Umbrella' at the awards bash.

Speaking about the collaboration, the band told Radio 1: "We've made our own slant on a contemporary version of it.

"It's an electronic version with guitars on it, with a twist of 'Golden Skans'.

"It's been a bit of a funny one because she's in America and we're over here. They've got this funny idea of what our band sounds like and we've done three or four different versions.

"Her people kept sending versions back going 'No, this sounds more like you'. We've spent more time on this track than any of our tracks on the album.

"It's strange when someone thinks they’re better at being you than you are!"

Klaxons are nominated for Best Live Act and Best Breakthrough Act, while Rihanna is up for the Best International Female gong.

The ceremony takes place at Earls Court on February 20.
