Beyoncé & Tina Turner Will Duet at the Grammys

Beyoncé & Tina Turner Will Duet at the Grammys

It's a diva double take!

Beyoncé Knowles will join forces with the legendary Tina Turner for a performance at the Feb. 10 Grammy Awards, a source close to the show confirms to PEOPLE.

News of the A-list duet comes just one day after the Writers Guild of America announced it will not picket the awards show – clearing the way for stars to attend the Los Angeles ceremony.

Knowles, 26, has long been vocal about her appreciation for the 68-year-old icon: In 2005, she performed Turner's signature hit, "Proud Mary," during a Kennedy Center tribute.

-Omg, I'm so excited that Tina will be performing! I'll definitely be tuning in now.

I hope they bury the term "diva" after this duet.

It worked 4 Prince. I'm not saying Prince wouldn't have delivered a steller performance by himself, but Beyonce's addition introduced him to a younger audience.

Well just to qoute Carlos Santana who was speaking on hanging out with her back in the day, he said that TINA was beyond the term DIVA because Diva's come and go and Tina was just on another level of performer.

I don't know how Beyonce can top that performance with Prince, but i'm curious to see how it turns out. Tina hasn't performed on the Grammy's in years (at least not to my knowledge anyway), so i'm definitely looking forward to seeing this. It should be hot!

As much as I hate to admit it, IT DID help re-introduce him to the masses. Before 04, people thought Prince had lost ALL of his marbles. It wasn't until he announced this tour and did a bunch of press that it really took off. The beginning of ALL of this was the Grammy performance.

Beyonce delivered 2 great perforances in 04 (solo and with P...the bird and the painting was beautiful). Tina will probably knock 'em dead and Beyonce will probably be a supporter.
