The troubled Rehab singer will perform at the awards alongside acts including Pete Doherty and his band Babyshambles.

Doherty is expected to be on his best behaviour.

On Monday he was handed a suspended jail sentence for a string of drug and motoring offences.

The 28-year-old received a four-month sentence suspended for two years, plus an 18-month supervision order and a 12-month drug rehabilitation order.

Winehouse's rivals in the album category are Akon, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park and Nelly Furtado.

Best Solo Artist will be a battle between Justin Timberlake, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, Mika, Nelly Furtado and Rihanna.

Timberlake leads the field with four nominations.

The ceremony is being held this year in Munich, Germany, and hosted by rapper Snoop Dogg.

Organisers lined up a host of glamorous guest presenters including Joss Stone and model Lily Cole.
