Justin Timberlake will be honoring Prince in the late singer’s hometown in a tribute during his halftime show at the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 4.
TMZ reported on Saturday, February 3, that Timberlake will be joined onstage by a hologram of the “Little Red Corvette” singer, who died of an opioid overdose at the age of 57 in June 2016.
Over the years, viewers have witnessed Super Bowl moments during the halftime show that have been memorable for various reasons.

At the time, Jackson joined Timberlake as a surprise guest, and a wardrobe malfunction ended […]
The “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” singer, 37, hinted at a tribute to the Minneapolis native at a listening party for his latest album, Man of the Woods, at Prince’s Paisley Park compound in Chanhassen, Minnesota, on Thursday, February 1. Timberlake told the audience that he is a huge Prince fan and never thought he’d be introducing his album at Prince’s house, before adding it was the best birthday gift he’s ever been given.

The event was held in a space that Prince built behind his living quarters, where the “Purple Rain” singer used to perform concerts for local residents. The party also honored the beloved performer, as a black scarf hung over a microphone as his band, The Revolution, played at midnight after Timberlake’s party ended.

TMZ shared a video of the “SexyBack” singer practicing for the halftime show, which revealed that he is planning to perform “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” “My Love” and “Cry Me a River.” He also pre-taped his performance, which includes fireworks, in case anything goes wrong and he can’t perform live. There is speculation that Chris Stapleton, who duets with Timberlake on his new song “Say Anything” will also make an appearance during the performance.
After news broke about the Prince tribute, the late singer’s brother Omarr Baker took to Twitter to deny that a hologram would be used during the halftime show. He posted a No Entry sign along with the hashtag #PrinceHologram. When asked by a fan, “Does this mean you didn’t authorize it or that it’s not happening?” Baker replied, “Both.”
Prince’s former fiancee and longtime collaborator Sheila E. also took to Twitter to slam the rumors, tweeting, “Prince told me don’t ever let anyone do a hologram of me. Not cool if this happens!”
