Whitney Houston VH1 Divas Show tribute

Whitney Houston will be honored at the 2012 VH1 Divas show, set for taping in November.

Houston's long-time musical director Rickey Minor (current music leader on Dancing With the Stars) will be executive producer. Artists will be announced as the date of the taping approaches.

Tom Calderone, president of VH1, told Billboard "We all felt that if any show could pay tribute to Whitney's music, it would be Divas. December felt like enough time where it wouldn't be sad anymore, you'd want to celebrate her music."

Houston was a three-time performer on Divas over the years, in 1999, 2002 and 2003. The show, which debuted in 1998, annually gathers some of the biggest female voices (and an occasional male voice) in music.
