I'll be there for you: La Toya thanks Shaheen for his performance
The 12-year-old Welsh singer wowed the crowd at Jacko's LA memorial in July, and did it again at the Mobo Awards in Glasgow. Introduced by Michael's sister La Toya, Shaheen, who sang Who's Lovin' You at the memorial, received rapturous applause last night for his performance of another Jackson 5 hit, I'll Be There.
Fellow BGT stars Diversity performed a dance to a medley of Jackson hits, including Bad, while Michael's brother Jermaine sang a heartfelt version of Smile. Michael was honoured with the Mobo lifetime achievement award.
La Toya, 53, said: "My little brother Michael was the biggest star the music world has ever seen."
She added that he "exceeded all barriers — social, racial or generational" and that he "inspired, shocked and amazed" all who met him.
