The late Michael Jackson appeared in hologram form at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday.
After several legal hurdles were cleared, the projection was used during a performance of Slave To The Rhythm, a song lifted from the recent 'Xscape' collection.
L.A. Reid, CEO of Epic and the man behind the posthumous record, told the Associated Press:
"We tried to do as best we could what we thought Michael would have loved, and those of us who knew Michael really well, we had a good perspective on it."
Justin Timberlake led the way with seven wins at the ceremony, while there were also multiple gongs for Imagine Dragons and Blurred Lines, a hit for Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell Williams.
