Cee Lo Green and his Goodie Mob took the stage at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards to honor the late Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys with their rendition of "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)"
In addition, the G Mob, which took the stage dressed in all white, performed their track "Fight to Win."
Wiz Khalifa also mentioned the Beastie Boys while presenting an award, noting that they had never won a Billboard Music award.
The other big tribute of the night went to the late Whitney Houston. John Legend, backed by a full orchestra, performed "The Greatest Love of All," while Jordin Sparks sang Houston's "Bodyguard" smash, "I Will Always Love You."
Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, accepted the Millennium Award for her mother.
