Rita Ora is looking forward to taking to the stage at the recently announced tribute concert for Avicii.
Ora will join the likes of Adam Lambert, David Guetta and Aloe Blacc as one of the performers who will bring his music to life at the Friends Arena in Stockholm.
The Anywhere singer said the event will be a beautiful way to remember the DJ and producer, who died in 2018.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards, she said: I honestly dont know the details yet but as soon as they asked me I was like, 100% without a shadow of a doubt.
Im really looking forward to that, its supposed to be a beautiful ceremony so Im happy I can make it.
Its been amazing. To be able to work with him has always been a dream. Hes one of my favourite producers so to have the last song that he put out before he passed away was a really special moment for the song, and I think it made the song really special.

Avicii, real name Tim Bergling, was found dead in his hotel room in Oman on 20 April last year.
The Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awarness, taking place on 5 December, is going to feature a line up of 19 singers performing his biggest hits, as well as DJ sets from the likes of Laidback Luke and Nicky Romero.
All profits from the concert will go towards mental health charities and organisations.
In a statement, Aviciis father Klas Bergling, said: Tim had plans for his music to be performed together with a large live band, and now we are realizing his dream and giving fans a chance to experience his music in this unique way.
We are grateful that his friends, producers, artists and colleagues are coming to Stockholm to help. They have all expressed a sincere interest and desire to engage in efforts to stem the tide of mental illness and lend their support to our work with the Tim Bergling Foundation.
We are very much looking forward to this evening, which will be a starting point for the foundations work going forward.
We want this concert to help put the topic on the agenda and pay attention to the stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide. Policies and tools are needed to detect the risks and prevent suicide, especially among young people.
