Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper's group The Hollywood Vampires will pay tribute to heavy metal legend Lemmy Kilmister at the Grammy awards.
The band has not yet decided the song they will perform to honour Kilmister, but will be debuting new Hollywood Vampires track "As Bad As I Am" at the show, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"We started this band as a means to toast our 'dead drunk friends' at the Rainbow, all the ghosts in the bar, and now I guess Lemmy is involved in that too," he said.
Kilmister, who was the frontman of heavy metal group Motorhead, died of cancer in December at the age of 70.
The Grammys have also announced that Lady Gaga will pay tribute to David Bowie and Chris Stapleton will come together with Gary Clark, Jr and Bonnie Raitt to honour BB King.
