Moby, Whitney, Foos Added To Awards Line-up

Buff new recruits have been added to the performers line-up for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2002, in the shape of Moby, Whitney Houston, and Foo Fighters. The mouth-watering additions join the previously announced acts, Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Pink, and Wyclef, all providing musical refreshment at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on Thursday November 14.

Moby, also nominated for Best Dance and Web Award gongs at this year’s ceremony, will perform at the MTV Europe Music Awards for the second time in three years, having caused Europe-spread dampness with his bombastic rendition of ’Porcelain’ at the 2000 awards in Barcelona. Whitney Houston, whose eagerly awaited new album ’Just Whitney’ is just around the corner, will also notch up a second MTV Europe Music Awards performance having belted out ’It’s Not Right But It’s O.K’ at 1999’s ceremony in Dublin. Foo Fighters, however, will lose their MTV Europe Music Awards performance virginity in Barcelona, as they perform at the Awards for the first time.

New guest presenter additions at this year’s Awards include: The Calling, Kelis, Las Ketchup, Jade Jagger, Papa Roach, and Pet Shop Boys. These new additions join previously announced presenters including: Kylie Minogue, Ms Dynamite, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Ronan Keating, Pharrell Williams from N*E*R*D, Pierce Brosnan & Halle Berry, Spanish supermodel Esther Caņadas, Holly Valance, Sugababes, Nick Carter, and Tiziano Ferro, with many more still to be pulled out of the bag.

Master of Ceremonies at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2002, is the artist formerly known to his mates as Puff and to J-Lo as The Daddy; the unmistakable slick-hop Bad Boy - P Diddy. And don't you forget it, bitch.
