The news comes after a statement on Tuesday 17 May from dick clark productions stating that Kesha was unable to perform after Dr. Luke’s label retracted it’s approval.

The record label said in a statement on Thursday 19 May, “Kesha’s performance on the Billboard Music Awards was always approved, in good faith. Approval was only suspended when Kemosabe learned Kesha was to use the performance as a platform to discuss the litigation. Now that Kemosabe has obtained assurances, that it is relying upon, from Kesha, her representatives and Dick Clark Productions that neither Kesha nor her supporters will use the performance as such a platform, the approval has been restored.”

 On Wednesday 18 May Kesha joined Ben Folds onstage at the Orpheum in Los Angeles. She later thanked the American singer on Instagram for sharing the stage and letting her play a Bob Dylan cover with him. Kesha and Ben Folds covered Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe”, the song she was originally planning to cover at the Billboard Awards this Sunday.
