Jermaine Jackson, older brother of American pop star Michael Jackson teamed up with noted Indian playback & pop singer Sonu Nigam to pay a special tribute to Michael Jackson at the International Indian Film Academy Awards 2011 ceremony in Toronto, Canada.

The tribute came on Friday night at the event that was loaded with high-energy musical performances and fashion shows.

Jermaine Jackson & Sonu Nigan sang for the song ‘This Is It’ written by Sonu Nigam in memory of Michael Jackson, the king of pop. They were supported by a team of dancers dressed in white shirts, black blazers and black hats while  Michael Jackson’s photos (black and white) were displayed behind them on the screens.
