Mark your calendars for December 10th, 2018 because JT is coming to the Sprint Center! Post-Big Game Halftime Show and release of the highly anticipated fourth studio album Man of the Woods, Justin Timberlake announced his US and European tour. In the previously announced dates, 450,000 tickets have already been sold.
Yesterday, February 4th, Justin performed for his third time at the Superbowl, the first being his star studded appearance with *NSYNC (shown in the video below), the second being the scandalous performance with Janet Jackson, and yesterday being the flawless performance of his hit songs back to back. He also did a cover of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U” which had a lot of controversy. Originally he was going to sing with a prince hologram, but there was a Prince quote found that said “That’s the most demonic thing imaginable, everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing … it really is demonic. And I am not a demon.” – from a Guitar World Interview. It is also publicly known that Prince and Justin did not get along. JT has made fun of Prince’s short stature and Prince commented that he did not like a past performance Justin did in honor of Prince.
halftime performance at Super Bowl XXXV
*NSYNC were part of a star-studded halftime performance at Super Bowl XXXV on this night in 2001. The guys performed “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me” before joining Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Nelly and Mary J. Blige for a killer version of “Walk This Way.” Flash back to that unforgettable night!
