It was officially announced on Thursday that the four-member group will, indeed, perform live at the event. Band members are Drew Lachey (brother of Nick), Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons, who create the R&B/Pop group's four-part harmonies.

The group came onto the music scene in the late-1990s and reunited several years ago.

98 Degrees has sold more than 10 million records worldwide, and eight of the band's singles have topped the Top 40 charts.
