Sasha Fierce then continued the pay tribute to Jacko by dedicating an emotional version of Halo to the legend saying: "Michael thank you so much for teaching me so much. We all miss you. We thank you for all the beautiful memories.”
She added: “Thank you bringing our families together. Thank you for giving us all those great times. We love you. There will only be one Michael Jackson. Long live the king."
B then performed the hit, with an image of Michael Jackson behind her and changed the lyrics to sing: “Michael I can see your Halo. I pray your music won’t fade away.”
Beyonce, who is rumoured to be in talks to star in a Sister Act remake was not the only celebrity to pay tribute to her idol. Ne-Yo, John Legend and Robin Thicke also honoured the star at the 15th annual Essence Music Festival.
R n B sensation Ne-Yo dedicated the majority of his set to Jacko exclaiming: "I'm gonna do my best to keep his legacy alive," who performed in a Jacksonesque hat and sparkling jacket.
