Ken Ehrlich, the producer of the Grammy Awards, said in an interview with the New York Times that Lady Gaga had already been booked to perform at the show before Bowie's death, but as soon as the news emerged, he stuck to the idea of Lady Gaga solo.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that was devoted to David Bowie's death Lady Gaga said: "When I fell in love with David Bowie, when I was living on the Lower East Side, I always felt that his glamour was something he was using to express a message to people that was very healing for their souls."
According to The New York Times, the performance will not be the opening number for the Grammys, but it will last six or seven minutes and cover "at least three or four" Bowie tunes.
David Bowie, one of the most influential artist of the century, has died of cancer on January 10. Tributes to Bowie have been paid from around the world.
