As an autopsy was being conducted on Houston's remains Sunday to determine the cause of her death, Hudson was preparing to take the stage at music industry's biggest awards show, USA Today said.
"It was a big shock when the news hit," Grammy Awards ceremony executive producer Ken Ehrlich told the newspaper. "We're definitely going to do something, but in some ways it's too fresh and too early to do a full-blown tribute."
LL Cool J is to serve as host of the event.
Hudson is a Grammy Award-winning recording artist and Oscar-winning star of the movie musical "Dreamgirls."
