Organisers have also announced that Adele will perform live at this year's ceremony next month. It is her first confirmed live performance since recovering from throat surgery. The singer is also nominated in three categories - best female, best single and best album for 21.
The trophies - including a lifetime achievement prize for Britpop band Blur - will be handed out at the O2 Arena on 21 February.
Yellowbrick Road Block - A performance of The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium had to be called to a halt last week after the production suffered technical problems. Star Michael Crawford apologised when the musical stopped after about 15 minutes.
A spokeswoman said there had been a problem with the "stage revolve" which could have endangered "the health and safety of the cast and crew". She added the problem had been resolved and the show would continue on Friday.
A spokeswoman for Andrew Lloyd Webber's show said, "Large productions often have large and complex sets, so this isn't an uncommon occurrence in the West End. The Really Useful Group takes their responsibilities in this area very seriously."
Grammy Awards - Nicki Minaj, Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars are set to perform at next month's Grammy Awards, it has been announced. Minaj is nominated for four awards at the ceremony, including best new artist and rap album for Pink Friday. Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson have also been announced as performers at the annual event, which takes place on 12 February this year. Kanye West has the most nominations with seven, including song of the year for All Of The Lights.
Really Easy Money - The charities regulator will not investigate the Royal Albert Hall after it emerged members and trustees could make thousands reselling tickets. A legal loophole means holders of debenture-style seats at the London venue can sell them for up to £20,000. The hall, a registered charity which is held in trust, has been cautioned by the Charity Commission. More than 1,000 seats in the Grade I listed building are held on 999-year leases after they were sold in 1871.
