Their anti-drug lyrics and positive fun messages ignited the crowd who came to their feet and danced, chanting with the artists, "We're drug-free!"
The artists paid a tribute to Michael Jackson, recognizing that this brilliant artist's life came to an end apparently because of prescription drug abuse.
