Kanye West has cancelled his performance at the 2007 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to mourn the death of his mother, Donda.

In a last minute substitution worked out just before midnight, West's friend, Black Eyes Peas' will.i.am will sing "I Got it from My Mama" in memoriam of Donda, according to Entertainment Tonight.

The show, which is filming Thursday at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre and airing December 4 on CBS, will still feature a performance by the Spice Girls.

Donda died Saturday at age 58 after receiving a tummy tuck and breast reduction.

An autopsy is under way; results are expected in 6-8 weeks.
