# Sonu Nigam performed with Jermaine Jackson at IIFA 2026-08-10T17:01:18+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Singer Sonu Nigam, in a podcast with Komal Nahta, said he performed with Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson at the IIFA awards. He met Jermaine by chance in the US after Michael’s death, and together they sang a tribute song that Nigam had composed while crying. Nigam recalled the audience was spellbound. Nigam also listed other international collaborations: a song with Britney Spears for one of her albums, a track with Avicii, and one with Polish singer Natalia. He said staying in India limited his opportunities but he was grateful for the chances he got. He is now releasing 'Oh Tabassum' from the upcoming film Batwara 1947, starring Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi. ## Coverage - cinemaexpress.com Tags: Batwara 1947, Bollywood, IIFA, international collaborations, Jermaine Jackson, Sonu Nigam Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sonu-nigam-performed-with-jermaine-jackson-at-iifa/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
