Sir Rod said he was “happy to be asked to close out the Brits on their 40th show celebrations”.
The singer has performed at the Brit Awards once before, in 1993, when he also picked up an outstanding contribution award.
Last year Sir Rod celebrated his 10th album reaching number one in the UK charts, after the release of You’re In My Heart.
He also became the oldest male solo artist to have a number one album in the UK.
