The ‘Born This Way’ singer will be honouring the late, great David Bowie at tonight’s Grammy Awards, performing what’s being described as an ‘experimental tribute’.

David, who tragically passed away on January 10 aged 69 following a battle with cancer, will also be honoured with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award.

Speaking about choosing Lady Gaga for the tribute, the Grammy’s executive producer Ken Ehrlich explained: “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.

“We immediately spoke and agreed that she should be the one to honour David. She’s perfect for it.”
