Whitney Houston has been announced as an honouree at this year's American Music Awards.

The 'I Will Always Love You' singer, who has won 21 AMAs in her career, has been named as the 'International Artist Award' winner for the ceremony later this month.

AMA producer Larry Klein said: "We're honoured to have Whitney Houston back on the AMA stage after 10 years."

He continued: "She has won the most AMAs of any female artist in history and is without a doubt an international superstar so it's only fitting we honour her with the 'International Artist Award' this year at such an important time in her career."

Janet Jackson will be opening the show, while other performers include Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas and Shakira.
