Jennifer Hudson has led the celebrity tributes following the tragic death of music legend Whitney Houston.
The singer belted out a poised, powerful and heart-wrenching rendition of Houston's hit I Will Always Love You at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards before breaking into tears.
The former American idol contestant was unable to hold back her emotions as she sang on the stage, where Houston had performed on many times before. The tribute came only hours after the embattled star was found dead in a bathtub at Beverly Hilton Hotel.
