Justin: No ‘N Sync Super Bowl reunion
Justin Timberlake will perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show
Justin Timberlake was asked about a possible ‘N Sync reunion and a bromance with Tom Brady, but the superstar didn’t get a question about the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction that rocked the world during a press conference to promote his return to the Super Bowl halftime show.
Timberlake ruled out any chance his former boy band ‘N Sync would join him today or other potential special guests would show up. Timberlake revealed only that his band, The Tennessee Kids, would join him onstage and predicted a show with things “never done before.”
“It’s a moment where you have the opportunity to bring so many people together through what I think is the greatest art form, which is music,” he said. “And so that has been sort of the ethos of inspiration behind putting the set list together.”
“And, you know, I like to make dance music so I hope everyone is dancing,” he added.
Timberlake was Jackson’s special guest during her 2004 performance when he ripped off a piece of her clothing. Timberlake later described it as an unintended “wardrobe malfunction.”
Timberlake mentioned Jackson’s name when he spoke about who people thought he would invite as a guest during the halftime show. He also named Jay-Z, Chris Stapleton and ‘N Sync.
He also admitted he had a “man-crush” on Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback.
Timberlake will be making his third Super Bowl musical appearance — a record. He first performed in 2001 when ‘N Sync performed alongside Britney Spears, Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige and Nelly. —AP It’s been 14 years since the JustinJanet wardrobe malfunction
