Lady GaGa to Perform Tribute to David Bowie at The Grammys

Lady GaGa will honor the late, great David Bowie at this year's Grammy Awards celebration.

The pop starlet, who was already locked in to perform at the award show,

was said to be a no-brainer to pay tribute to Bowie, who passed away last month due to a battle with cancer.

Grammys Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich stated in a press release, "We had already booked Lady GaGa on this year's show, but when David passed – almost in a single moment – we knew we had to change direction… she's perfect for it."

Nile Rodgers, who produced Bowie's hit "Let's Dance," will serve as musical director for the performance.

The Grammys will air on Monday February 15th on CBS at 5 PM PT.
