It's official. A rep confirms to E! that the upcoming Glee episode titled "Heart" will be dedicated to the late Whitney Houston. Filmed prior to Whitney's passing, the episode features a performance by Amber Riley (Mercedes) taking on the iconic "I Will Always Love You."
Tomorrow night's Glee episode was shot before Whitney Houston's death, but producers have found a way to dedicate the hour to the late great musical icon.A rep for 20th Century, the studio that produces Glee, just confirmed to us:
"Purely coincidentally, the episode contains Mercedes (Amber Riley) singing 'I Will Always Love You,' the Dolly Parton song Houston made famous in The Bodyguard. The producers have decided to dedicate the episode to Houston's memory with a card in the end credits."
