LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Janet Jackson will participate in Sunday's telecast of the Grammy Awards on CBS, according to "Access Hollywood."
The show reported Thursday that Jackson will be a presenter on the show. Jackson had been scheduled to introduce a tribute to R&B legend Luther Vandross, but reportedly was disinvited from taking part in the telecast because of the controversy surrounding the exposure of her right breast during the Super Bowl halftime show in Houston last Sunday.
Citing Grammy officials, "Access Hollywood" reported Jackson's new role in the show had not been determined as of Thursday afternoon.
Vandross has been recovering from a stroke he suffered last year, just prior to the release of his Grammy-nominated album, "Dance with My Father." His family issued a statement denying speculation they had a hand in the decision to pull Jackson from the tribute.
"The rumor that Luther Vandross' family has asked Janet Jackson to pull out of his Grammy tribute is completely inaccurate," the statement said. "The Vandross family has not made any such request and ask that Luther's tribute be left out of the Janet Jackson issue out of respect for him and his family."
