Paris Jackson sports one of the King of Pop's most iconic outfits at a tribute concert.
[We're very happy to be here on this special night to honor our father,] said Paris, who wore a replica of her father's famous red & black leather jacket from his [Thriller] music video.
Several performers took to the glove-shaped stage, including Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis & Cee Lo Green. The Black Eyed Peas pulled out of the lineup earlier this week citing [unavoidable circumstances.]
Despite the current manslaughter trial involving Jackson's former doctor, Conrad Murray, the evening's performers chose to ignore the court case & focus on the singer's musical legacy.
It's not about the controversy, Ne-Yo, who kicked off the show with a rendition of [Billie Jean,] said. [It's not about the trial. It's not about his death. It's about celebrating his life. It's about celebrating his music.]
Other performers included Jennifer Hudson, LaToya Jackson, Gladys Knight, Pixie Lott, 3T, Alexandra Burke, Alien Ant Farm, Craig David, Diversity, JLS & Smokey Robinson. Beyonce Knowles, 30, also performed via satellite video. More than 50,000 people attended the tribute concert, which was hosted by Fearne Cotton & Jamie Foxx.
Jackson died in June 2009 as he was preparing for a series of comeback concerts in London. Murray is accused of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the hours leading up to his death.
