British rockers Blur will reform on stage for the upcoming Brit Awards ceremony, according to bassist Alex James.

The band will be honoured with the Outstanding Contribution to Music trophy at the February ceremony in London and James has now confirmed they will close the show after they pick up the coveted award.

"We're going to play, which is brilliant. It's like putting the Blues Brothers back together," James told Britain's XFM radio station.

When asked about the prospect of another Blur tour, he said: "Well, let's hope - heritage year next year. (Would) be good wouldn't it?"

The band returned to the music scene to headline a series of UK festivals in 2009, following a six-year hiatus.

Britney Spears is ready to walk down the aisle for the third time. The 30-year-old pop star has agreed to marry her longtime boyfriend and former agent Jason Trawick.

Trawick announced on Friday on Access Hollywood that he and Spears are engaged. The two have been dating since 2009.

Spears hinted at the big news with a tweet recently that read, "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for. Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!!"

Spears was previously married to Kevin Federline, with whom she has two sons: six-year-old Sean Preston and five-year-old Jayden James.

The couple divorced in 2006. Spears also briefly wed childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, but the marriage was annulled after 55 hours.
