Super Bowl 2018: Justin Timberlake to Headline Half-Time Show after 14 Years
Justin Timberlake will headline the 2018 Super Bowl half-time show, fourteen years after his role in Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction”.
The singer revealed the news in a tweet – with a little help from talk show host Jimmy Fallon.
Justin Timberlake sang at the 2001 Super Bowl with former band N’Sync before sharing the stage with Janet Jackson in 2004.
That performance saw Justin Timberlake rip off part of Janet Jackson’s bodice, exposing her right breast.
The moment overshadowed events on the field and saw broadcaster CBS receive a record fine.
