The Grammys have appointed LL Cool J to be the ceremony's first official host in seven years.
The star, whose hits include Mama Said Knock You Out and I Need Love, will follow in the footsteps of Ellen DeGeneres and Queen Latifah.
In recent years, the position of official host has been replaced by a string of guest presenters.
Kanye West, Adele and Taylor Swift are among the acts expected to win awards at the event on February 12.
