Stevie Wonder led celebrations for boxing legend Muhammad Ali's 70th birthday at a charity party in Las Vegas.
Around 2,000 people, including singers, actors, athletes and former opponents gathered at the MGM Grand hotel for the bash.
Wonder sat alongside Ali on stage to sing Happy Birthday while friends and family danced and cheered.
David Beckham was among those who paid tribute to the star, saying: "Good evening, the man we celebrate tonight is a giant. Muhammad Ali has shown us one man can make a difference. His example of love, character, dignity, makes us want to be better. Muhammad Ali, you inspire me."
US President Barack Obama sent his birthday wishes to Ali via video message: "Happy birthday, champ. As a fighter, you were something spectacular.
"You shocked the world, and you inspired it, too. And even after all the titles and legendary bouts, you're still doing it."
Tennis champion Andre Agassi praised Ali for his work out of the ring: "Here's a man who has always been true to himself, a man who's always been speaking on behalf of those who don't have a voice.
"He's fought for hunger. He's fought for equalities. He's been tireless. He's used his platform to do things far greater than what benefits him and I think he's been an example not just to other athletes who strive to have his sort of impact but he's an inspiration to all of us."
There were also performances by Kelly Rowland, P Diddy, Snoop Dogg and Lenny Kravitz.
The gala's attendees celebrated Ali's life and an auction of sporting memorabilia helped generate millions of dollars for brain research, a cause close to him because of his almost 30-year battle with Parkinson's disease.
Proceeds from the event went to the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and the Muhammad Ali Centre in Ali's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
