Late disco legend Donna Summer will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next year.

Summer's family broke the news and are "overjoyed" to have her work recognized in this manner.

Summer will also be honored during VH1 Divas, a special dedicated to dance music. Donna Summer and Whitney Houston are due to receive special tributes from guest performers like Kelly Rowland.

"VH1 Divas" airs Sunday, Dec. 16th on VH1.
