Whitney Houston’s life to be celebrated before the Grammys

Whitney Houston’s memory still lives on a year later.

The Grammy committee has decided to celebrate the life and legacy of the beloved diva, who unexpectedly passed away last year in a hotel in Beverly Hills.

The event will include an hour-long special called “The Grammys Will Go On: A Death in the Family,” and will air Thursday Feb. 9, the day before the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Whitney was found dead in her hotel the night before the Grammys, drastically changing the celebration to a memorial and time to grieve. Jennifer Hudson performed a medley of Houston’s greatest hits and several celebrities spoke in her honor.
