Video: Stevie Wonder Pays Tribute to Michael Jackson at Summerfest
By Jay Sorgi
MILWAUKEE - One of Michael Jackson's contemporaries, and close friends, gave tribute to the "King of Pop."
Stevie Wonder talked about how much he missed his friend during his concert at Milwaukee's Summerfest, the world's largest music festival.
"I'm just so sad to know that he was never able to live to be old and gray," said Wonder on stage during his show at the Marcus Ampitheater.
"I have peace in knowing that a man with the spirit of Michael Jackson is safe now in the arms of his God."
Wonder went on stage in a show with John Legend and played a Jackson song, "I Can't Help It."
At one emotional point in the show, Wonder slumped over onto his keyboard until his daughter, Aisha Morris, assisted him.
He also chose to dance to a number of taped Jackson songs, even doing the moonwalk twice.
