The emotional highpoint and poignant moment of the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards came as Russell Brand lead a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse.
Brand introduced the legendary Tony Bennett who unveiled footage of Winehouse’s final performance -- his recent recording session with her of their duet Body and Soul for his upcoming Duets II album.
The tribute continued with Bruno Mars’s triumphant performance of Winehouse’s hit Valerie.
