Usher, Celine Dion and Jennifer Hudson have signed up to star in a TV tribute to tragic singer Whitney Houston.


The life and career of the late pop star will be celebrated in the upcoming one-hour special, We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute To Whitney Houston.


The show, to be filmed at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on 11 October (12), will also feature artists sharing their memories of Houston, as well as clips of her most memorable performances and never-before-seen footage.


The special will air on 16 November (12), just days after a new greatest hits album is released.


I Will Always Love You - the Best of Whitney Houston will feature two previously unreleased tracks, including Never Give Up, which was produced by Jermaine Dupri, and an updated version of I Look To You featuring R. Kelly.


Houston drowned in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles in February (12).
