Perrie Edwards has revealed she is returning to the stage after kickstarting her solo career, with the singer set to perform at The Hundred Final.
The former Little Mix star, 31, will take to the stage at Lord's on August 31 to bring the annual sporting event, which kicks off on August 5, to a close.
Perrie's debut solo single Forget About Us stormed into the UK top 10 last year, and she gushed she's planning to bring 'the whole shebang' to her upcoming performance.
The Hundred is set to enter its fifth year with this year's tournament, bringing live music and DJs to every fixture from emerging talent and established stars across eight host cities.
'I'm bringing the whole shebang – dancers, great tunes and amazing staging – everything!' she said.
'An electric crowd, amazing sport in a truly iconic venue: I can't think of a better Sunday night.
'I'll be doing everything I can to help make this a truly unforgettable occasion. Performing for this crowd at the Final will be an incredible experience. See you there!'
For the fifth year running, The Hundred has curated its music line-up in collaboration with BBC Introducing.
The partnership supports unsigned, undiscovered and under the radar artists from across the UK, providing a platform to perform at some of the UK's biggest cricket grounds.
It comes after Perrie admitted she fears she 'might die' as she opened up about her ongoing battle with panic disorder.
In an interview on Alison Hammond 's Big Weekend, Perrie invited the presenter into her home and spoke openly about how anxiety has affected her everyday life.
Perrie said: 'I've developed panic disorder. So it's the fear of having a panic attack. A few years ago, I started suffering from severe panic attacks.
'I then developed a fear of having one again because I was like, if I'm on my own and have a panic attack, I might die, and nobody will be here to help.'
She candidly added: 'That's why I'm never on my own. Never. I'm always with somebody. I don't like the feeling of feeling like I'm gonna die.'
Last year, the star also shared insight into the challenges of being a solo artist, after releasing her third single You Go Your Own Way following her debut single Forget About Us and Tears.
She told MailOnline: 'It's actually nothing like I expected it to be.'
'It's just different. I just feel like the industry is very different at the moment. The way we work is very different and the way we promote it is very different.
'And that's not saying that it's not good or not bad it's just not used to being in the band but like I said, I just love singing, I love making music and creating and all that process is the best part ever.'
Asked about the high and lows of the job, she confirmed she still loves being on stage more than anything else.
'Definitely being able to just sing and perform like nothing makes me happier than being on stage,' gushed Perrie.
She then added: 'But then also, it's harder to start from scratch and I'm not going to get to that place any time soon so it's hard work to get me there, you know, I just want to be on the big stage.'
