Common and John Legend will be performing their track Glory at the Oscars next month, it has been confirmed.

The duo collaborated on the track, from the soundtrack of Selma, which is nominated for Best Original Song.

"Common and John Legend are artists who have always lifted our spirits and made us think," show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a statement.

"The Oscar stage is that much more profound because of their presence and we welcome them."

They've had a good awards season so far, grabbing the Best Original Song award at the Golden Globes earlier this month.

And they are also set to sing at the Grammy Awards on 8 February - with the Oscars coming two weeks later on 22 February.

It was this week confirmed that Adam Levine is also going to be doing a turn at the movie gong show.

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawin' me in, and you kickin' me out
You've got my head spinnin', no kiddin'
I can't pin you down

What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alright

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too?
The world is beating you down
I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy, and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh

Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
