Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston will reportedly receive remembrance tributes at this year's Brit Awards.
Organisers have allegedly adjusted the event's timings to be able to pay homage to the artists, who have both tragically passed away over the last year.
A source told Metro: "Whitney and Amy are two of the biggest female stars in the history of music. Both have made their mark on stage at the Brits in the past.
"Something would feel missing if both their legacies weren't remembered at the show."
Houston performed her hit 'It's Not Right, But It's Okay' at the 1999 Brit Awards ceremony, while Winehouse last performed 'Valerie' at the event back in 2007.
The Brit Awards 2012 will take place at London's O2 Arena tomorrow (February 21). The show will be broadcast live from 8pm on ITV1.
