Christina Aguilera could be set to take part in a tribute to Aretha Franklin at this month's Grammy Awards.

The singer will be joined by Jennifer Hudson and two as-yet-unnamed singers to pay tribute to Franklin at the ceremony in Los Angeles on February 13, The Sun reports.

Last year, Franklin was discharged from hospital after being treated for an undisclosed illness. Unconfirmed media reports claimed she was suffering from pancreatic cancer.

Other acts set to perform at the Grammy Awards include Lady Gaga, Muse, Mick Jagger, Arcade Fire and Eminem.
