The Grammys will include a tribute to music legend Whitney Houston, the Recording Academy has announced, after the singer was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel.

The singer, who won six Grammys during her career, has died in Los Angeles. Her body was found just before 4pm on the eve of the awards show, which she was in LA to attend. Her body was found in her Beverly Hilton hotel room, the same hotel where a pre-Grammys party hosted by Clive Davis, the record mogul who discovered her, was being held.
