Kesha confirmed to perform at 2016 Billboard Music Awards

In addition to the major moments we can expect, Kesha is set to perform at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards this Sunday (May 22) at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.

After her initial performance was denied by Kemosabe Records, Dr. Luke’s record label, the American singer and rapper is once again scheduled to honour Bob Dylan with a cover of “It Ain’t Me, Babe”.

In a statement issued to Billboard, the “Die Young” singer’s label Dick Clark Productions confirmed the performance is back on: “Kesha and Kemosabe Records have reached an agreement and very much look forward to having Kesha perform.

On Wednesday, news broke as the 29-year-old singer shared on Instagram she “won’t be allowed” to join other performers.

I was very excited to perform a tribute to Bob Dylan by singing a cover of “It ain’t me, babe” at the Billboard awards this year. I’m very sad and sorry to say I won’t be allowed to do this. I just wanted to make very clear that this performance was about me honoring one of my favorite songwriters of all time and has never had anything at all to do with Dr. Luke. I was never going to use a picture of him, speak of him or allude to my legal situation in any way. I simply wanted to sing a song I love to honor an artist I have always looked up to. thank u all for the continued support.

Dick Clark Productions later clarified Kemosabe Records had revoked their approval upon learning that the singer meant to use the award show appearance as a platform to discuss her legal battles with Dr. Luke, but “Now that Kemosabe has obtained assurances, that it is relying upon, from Kesha, her representatives and Dick Clark Productions that neither Kesha nor her supporters will use the performance as such a platform, the approval has been restored.”

The performance will be the second high profile public appearance since her lawsuits against music producer Dr. Luke. Earlier in April, Kesha took the stage with Zedd to perform “True Colours” at the 2016 Coachella Festival.
