Singer Madonna is reportedly being lined up to perform at the BRIT Awards.

The pop star is said to be in discussions with producers to perform at the ceremony next month, after almost 20 years since her last performance at the event.

"Madonna wants to perform to the biggest number of people for the maximum impact and there's no better place for a controversy-filled Madonna performance than the Brits," mirror.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

The 56-year-old hopes that the performance will increase interest in her new music before her performance at the Grammy Awards Feb 8.

"She has already confirmed she will perform at the Grammys, when she will debut the new music.

"But her album is due out on March 9, a month after the LA ceremony, so she wants another large platform to perform her songs on just before it is released," the source added.

BRIT Awards will take place at London's O2 Arena Feb 25.
