Beyonce shocked her fans this week with the surprise announcement that she was pregnant with twins.

Amid the excitement, the news also sparked speculation that her potentially high-risk pregnancy could cause the superstar to pull out of her eagerly awaited Coachella performances this spring.

However this is not the case, sources close to the star insist, explaining that the mother-to-be has instead been busy recruiting guest artists to join her onstage.

Expecting: Sources close to Beyonce have claimed the superstar, who is pregnant with twins, could still collect her reported $1million fee for Coachelle even if she pulls out of her headline slot at the festival, thanks to an insurance policy

Two other artists have firmly committed to joining Beyonce, sources tell TMZ, having being informed of her pregnancy before she went public.

One is signed to the same label as the superstar, her husband Jay Z's Roc Nation, while the other is not. 

The news comes amid speculation that should Beyonce be forced to pull out of her headline slot she would still receive payment, thanks to an insurance policy taken out by the organisers.  

While it is not clear how far along the star is in her pregnancy, it's thought she is around four to five months, meaning she'll be at least six months pregnant at the time of Coachella.

According to one policy, obtained by TMZ, the insurance company will pay the fee of a singer for 'incapacity' which typically includes complications from a high-risk pregnancy.

The 35-year-old singer announced she and husband Jay-Z are expecting twins - posting a pregnant snapshot of herself on Instagram account on Wednesday.

She added a caption which read: 'We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters.'

A day later the star uploaded additional shots from her glamorous pregnancy shoot to her official website, as she posed with daughter Blue and was filmed swimming under water with her bump on show.  

An earlier report from TMZ this week stated that Beyonce's pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy - now five - was a 'difficult' one, 'requiring bed rest' and points out that the star's second time around with twins could require even more care. This could therefore put her Coachella appearance at risk.

The Single Ladies singer, who has kept out of the spotlight in recent months, and her rapper husband are already parents to five-year-old Blue Ivy.

In 2013, Beyonce revealed she had suffered a miscarriage prior to the arrival of her daughter.
