vIndianz.com (1 Feb, 2010) — Los Angeles: King of Pop Michael Jackson won yet another posthumous honour on Saturday, joining six other musicians including Leonard Cohen and Loretta Lynn who received Grammy awards for lifetime achievement, according to Associated Press.
But Jackson’s family, whose members rarely turn down an opportunity to share his spotlight, did not attend the ceremony at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre, despite speculation that some of his children might accept the statuette on his behalf.
Instead, Jackson’s former manager, Frank DiLeo, did the honours, describing the pop star as “a funny guy, he had a sense of humour like none of you ever knew.”
Jackson, who died of a drug overdose last year, aged 50, won 13 Grammys in his lifetime.
