Sheila E revealed that they are planning to perform the singer's iconic songs like "The Glamorous Life" and "America".
"Prince. The Purple One. His Royal Badness — regardless of how you identify him, he is indisputably one of the greatest musical virtuosos of all time. With his subversive attitude and commanding nature, he straddled musical genres and created electrifying music that was bursting with character.
"He continues to serve as an inspirational icon for artists and fans worldwide, and we are so honoured to pay tribute to his legacy," Recording Academy president/CEO Deborah Dugan said in a statement.
In the past, the "Grammy Salute" concerts have honoured the Beatles, the Bee Gees, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Motown and Aretha Franklin.
