MUMBAI: The BET Awards honoured Michael Jackson on last Sunday, a day after the King of Pop‘s family sought a second autopsy for more answers.Dressed in the singer‘s trademark red leather jacket and sequined glove, host Jamie Foxx sang and danced to Beat It during the opening of the ninth annual Black Entertainment Television awards show in Los Angeles, which was extended by 30 minutes to accommodate various Jackson tributes.
Jackson‘s father Joe was also in the audience. Earlier on the red carpet, he told CNN that it has been really tough for his family, thanked fans in a prepared statement read by his publicist, and said he had concerns about the doctor who was with his son when he died.
