Florence Welch is said to be the special guest at the Rolling Stones' London show tomorrow night - joining the band on stage to sing with Mick Jagger.
According to The Mirror, Welch is set to perform 'Gimme Shelter' at the London O2 Arena during the Thursday night show, taking over the part that Mary J Blige previously sang at their Sunday night show.
A source told the paper, "Mary J. Blige did the female vocal part for the first show which blew the crowd away. But Florence is determined to raise the bar even higher. It will be an incredible moment."
Florence + the Machine are currently touring Europe, but the source insists that Florence will fly in to London for the show, before continuing on to Germany to rejoin the band on tour.
"It is very, very tight indeed but it will definitely happen," the source explains. "You would never in a million years turn down the opportunity to duet with Mick on such an iconic song."

Guitarist Eric Clapton is also set to join the band onstage, according to the same source.
They added, "Eric is also taking part at some point, which will be historic too."
The Rolling Stones' last performance at the O2 went past curfew, which meant that they did not perform their classic hit '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'. Hopefully, Thursday's audience will leave satisfied.
