The surviving members of the Eagles—Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, Timothy B. Schmit and Joe Walsh—will honor their late bandmate Glenn Frey at Monday's 58th Grammy Awards.

The Recording Academy confirmed Wednesday the quartet will take the stage alongside Frey's close friend and collaborator Jackson Browne what's described as a "one-time-only special tribute."

"Given the impact that the Eagles have had on music, it was only right that we have a moment for Glenn, the band's co-founder," Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich said in a statement. "We couldn't think of a more appropriate way to honor him than by bringing together his bandmates and [Browne] to play an Eagles classic that forever changed popular music. It'll be an emotional moment for many of us — one of reflection, respect, and celebration."

Frey passed away last month after a battle with rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia.

The Grammys are set for Monday, Feb. 15, airing live at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST on CBS. See additional performers here.
