Janet Jackson at BET Awards
Janet Jackson made a quick appearance onstage during the 2009 BET Awards which was held at the Shrine Auditorium this past Sunday in LA. The 43-year old sister of the late singer Michael Jackson honored her older brother during the ceremony saying “My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was just too painful, so they elected me to speak to all of you. I’m going to keep it very short. To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family, and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.” After Janet left the stage, host Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo sang a tribute duet to Jackson 5’s ‘I’ll Be There’.
