In honour of the late Whitney Houston a tribute concert will be recorded at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre L.A. on 11th October.
Usher, Celine Dion and Jennifer Hudson, amongst others, will come together in a one-hour We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute To Whitney Houston concert in memory of the singing legend.
The concert will be aired on CBS a week later showing a selection of artists who will pay their respects through song as well as a look back at Whitney’s successful career.
As a two-part special, a press release by Lifetime announced, Remembering Whitney will air on the 17TH October which will precede the upcoming Lifetime reality series The Houstons: On Our Own. The reality show will be 14 episodes focusing on Whitney Houston’s 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina and Cissy amongst other family and friends.
Her tribute concert will come just a month before the anniversary of the iconic vocalist’s death. She tragically passed away on 11th February this year on the eve of the 54th Grammy Awards. It appeared a few weeks later that her death was due to an 'accidental drowning'.
During her lifetime Whitney won six Grammy awards and graced the stages of the programme eight times. It is undeniable that with a cataclysmic career, selling well over 170 million singles, albums and videos, it be only fitting that the Recording Academy produce the CBS special.
