Michael Jackson was laid to rest on Tuesday.

Madonna paid tribute to Michael Jackson on Saturday night in the same arena where he was to stage his comeback, dancing along with an impersonator doing Jackson's distinctive moves. Jackson, who died June 25, was to begin a series of 50 concerts at the 23,000-seat O2 starting July 13. A picture of a young Michael Jackson appeared onstage while Madonna was performing "Holiday," then the impersonator came on, wearing a sequined jacket, white T-shirt, white glove and white socks. The music then switched to Jackson's song, "Wanna Be Starting Something." After the number, Madonna told the crowd, "Let's give it up for one of the greatest artists the world has ever known," and the crowd of about 17,000 roared its approval.
