Country star Joe Nichols is scheduled to perform at Anna Nicole Smith's funeral on Friday in the Bahamas.  Nicols will perform his song "I'll Wait for You" and one of Smith's favorite songs, "Wings of a Dove" at her graveside after being invited by the Smith's most recent companion, Howard K. Stern.

Smith and Nichols have been friends for years after meeting at the Grande Ole' Opry in Tennessee. 

"I hope to bring some comfort through music to the people who were closest to her during this sad time," Nicols said.

More than 300 people are invited to attend the funeral service which will also feature a video montage created from Anna Nicole's home videos set to Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven."
