"Jennifer Hudson has performed &amp;#039;I Will Always Love You&amp;#039; in an emotional tribute to Whitney Houston at tonight&amp;#039;s Grammy Awards. Houston passed away yesterday (February 11), aged 48. Hudson ended the &amp;#039;In Memoriam&amp;#039; section with her performance of the Dolly Parton song. Singing, &amp;quot;Whitney, we will always love you&amp;quot;, the Oscar-winning American Idol star ended her performance by blowing a kiss towards to the screens which bore images of those who had passed away during the last 12 months.  Hudson was said to have struggled during rehearsals, reportedly breaking down and having a &amp;quot;hard time getting through the song&amp;quot;. Chaka Kahn earlier denied reports that she would feature in a tribute, dismissing rumours she would perform &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m Every Woman&amp;#039;. In a statement, she said: &amp;quot;As I grieve the loss of my friend and &amp;#039;little sister,&amp;#039; I don&amp;#039;t feel it appropriate to perform at this time. Continue to pray for the family.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; LL Cool J prays for Whitney Houston at Grammy Awards &amp;gt; Alicia Keys, Bonnie Raitt sing Etta James tribute at Grammy Awards  Discussing the late addition of the tribute to the show, Grammy Awards executive producer Ken Ehrlich said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s too fresh in everyone&amp;#039;s memory to do more at this time, but we would be remiss if we didn&amp;#039;t recognise Whitney&amp;#039;s remarkable contribution to music fans in general, and in particular her close ties with the Grammy telecast and her Grammy wins and nominations over the years.&amp;quot; Results of an autopsy carried out today have been placed in a &amp;#039;security hold&amp;#039; due to the ongoing police investigation into Houston&amp;#039;s death.
