Lady Gaga will perform a tribute to David Bowie at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
The Grammys announced this morning that she'll be performing at the ceremony in his honor. Grammy winner Nile Rodgers, a longtime Bowie collaborator, will music direct Gaga's performance.
"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," Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich said in a statement.
"We immediately spoke and agreed that she should be the one to honor David. She's perfect for it. So I reached out to Nile and, before long, we were on our way to creating what we believe will not only make a great Grammy moment, but one befitting of David."
Bowie received two Grammy awards over the course of his career -- in 1985, "Jazzin' Blue Jean" won Best Video, Short Form, and in 2006, Bowie was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Lady Gaga talked about Bowie's influence on her work on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Show Chatter podcast in an interview published just two before his death on January 10.
"When I fell in love with David Bowie, when I was living on the Lower East Side, I always felt that his glamor was something he was using to express a message to people that was very healing for their souls," she said. "He is a true, true artist."
Gaga also posted a tribute to Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" makeup on Instagram after news of his death broke.
