Superstars Destiny's Child have won a special achievement award at the MTV Asia Awards – despite splitting up last year.
The band, which is famous for hits including Independent Women and Say My Name, scooped the prize for their contribution to international pop music.
Former band member Kelly Rowland picked up the award on the band's behalf, and performed her upcoming single Gotsta Go to the 4,600 fans.
The awards ceremony also saw Canadian singer Daniel Powter showing off his piano-playing skills for hit song Bad Day.
British heartthrob Simon Webbe, who used to be a member of boy band Blue, won the award for Favourite Breakthrough Artist. He performed his new single No Worries.
The Favourite Video prize went to American rockers Korn, who started the ceremony in true rocker style with their song Twisted Transistor.
The awards show, which was held at Bangkok's Siam Paragon, also saw Kelly Clarkson voted the Favourite Female and Ricky Martin voted the Favourite Male.
All the top winners were determined by MTV viewers in Asia, who voted through the internet and their mobile phones.
