Michael Jackson returns to the stage in creepy holographic performance

The King of Pop, Michael Jackson might have been gone for five years, but that certainly hasn't stopped him from releasing a new album, Xscape (which is fantastic, I might add), but death also hasn't stopped him from performing on stage, thanks to the power of holograms.

The technically impressive, but invariably creepy performance of his latest single Slave to the Rhythm at the Billboard Music Awards show which just concluded in the United States, can be seen in a video uploaded to YouTube below.

Xscape, which went on sale last week, has shot to the top of the charts worldwide, taking out the number one spot on the iTunes charts in 52 countries. It would seem the public appetite for the King of Pop has not yet been sated.
