Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson and Usher will pay tribute to the late Whitney Houston in a one-hour TV special.

“We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston” will tape October 11 at the Nokia Theatre LA Live and will feature performances by Dion, Hudson and Usher. It will air November 16 on CBS.

The Recording Academy announced Thursday that the special will also include Houston’s “most memorable performances” and interviews with various artists. More performers will be announced.

Tickets for the event go on sale Thursday.

Houston died aged 48 in February. Authorities called her death an accidental drowning, complicated by heart disease and cocaine use.

The compilation album, “I Will Always Love You — The Best of Whitney Houston,” will be released on November 13.
