(May 19, 2014) Michael Jackson appeared, sort of, at last night’s Billboard Music Awards. The gloved one, who died five years ago, was presented as a hologram, singing the Babyface/L.A. Reid composition, “Slave to the Rhythm,” likely the second single from his newly released posthumous album, Xscape.
The audience at the show appeared both surprised and moved by the performance, which also included live dancers. The New York Daily News reports that a lawsuit almost stopped the performance, as the company Hologram USA attempted to ban the use of its technology for the performance. The action was denied.
