HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Jay-Z will be joined by Rihanna and Kanye West in kicking off the September debut of "The Jay Leno Show," NBC announced Thursday.
The trio will be the first musicians to rock the program's brand new stage as they perform "Run This Town." The song is from Jay-Z's highly anticipated new album "The Blueprint 3," which drops on Sep. 11.
The performance will be the biggest for Rihanna since she was assaulted in February by her ex-boyfriend, fellow R&B star Chris Brown.
The "Kiss Kiss" singer, who struck a plea deal in June when he pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault, recently had his sentencing delayed until Aug. 27.
Leno's new prime-time show launches on Sept. 14.
