Prince is set to be honoured at a star-studded LA concert in his name later this month, titled Let's Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute to Prince.
The concert will feature several big-name artists at the 3,000 seat Los Angeles Convention Center on January 28.
Just two days after the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, 38-time Grammy nominee and seven-time winner Prince will be celebrated with his own tribute concert.
The special will be broadcast later in 2020 on the CBS Television Network and feature a line-up including Beck, Earth, Wind & Fire, Foo Fighters, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Coldplay's Chris Martin, and Usher.
Recording Academy President and CEO Deborah Dugan said: "With his subversive attitude and commanding nature, he straddled musical genres and created electrifying music that was bursting with character.
