Michael Jackson Honoured With Lifetime Achievement Award At MOBOs

October 1, 2009

Jermaine and LaToya Jackson paid tribute to their late brother Michael at the MOBOs in Glasgow last night where he was given a posthumous lifetime achievement award.

The King of Pop's siblings both attended the bash at the SECC and picked up the award in his honour.

Jermaine told the crowd: "My brother was everything to me. He was a wonderful artist and a wonderful human being.

"I'm here to do what I can, it is part of our responsibility as a family to continue his legacy and keep it alive."

Jermaine also performed Michael's favourite song, Charlie Chaplin's 'Smile', at the ceremony just as he did at the memorial service in July.

Echoing the memorial service again, Britain's Got Talent finalist Shaheen Jafargholi also took to the stage to sing the Jackson 5 song 'I'll Be There'.

The other winners on the night were as follows:
