The 'Slow Dancing In A Burning Room' sensation was recently forced to scrap his entire scheduled tour after discovering that a pre-existing condition that affected his voice had returned, but will be recognised at the ceremony in April for his "commitment to improving the working environment for the nation's music community".

Neil Portnow, the Recording Academy President/CEO, explained in an official statement that the seven-time GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter/producer will be rewarded for "being an enormous talent" and for his work as "an active philanthropist in arts and education". 

The GRAMMYs On The Hill event will take place on April 25 at the Liaison Capitol Hill hotel.
