LOS ANGELES (AP) — Janet Jackson will pay tribute to her late brother at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The network says Jackson will open the show with a musical tribute to Michael Jackson, who died on June 25.

Janet Jackson also honored her brother at the BET Awards in June, just days after his death.

The Video Music Awards will be presented Sunday at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

  • You are so right. I will watch the award show for one reason. To see Janet honor the greatest performer of our time. Her brother Michael Jackson. Michael loved you Janet and I believe you loved him.

    • When people talk about he was a addict. He was still a human being. And Janet knew the real Michael. Not some superstar..but her brother. And Janet if I could tell you... I would let you know that we loved Michael too.

  • I feel in my heart that Janet will truly tribute Michael Jackson the way he 'should' be. She truly has handled this with grace and dignity in the public eye. I respect her greatly.
