A TOUCHING MOMENT

Before the Michael Jackson memorial begins on Tuesday morning at Los Angeles's Staples Center, Usher gets hands-on backstage with fellow performer Jennifer Hudson. The Oscar winner belted out Jackson's 1993 song "Will You Be There" with a choir backing her. Later in the show, Usher broke down during his moving rendition of "Gone Too Soon."
