Justin Timberlake Pays Tribute To Prince At Super Bowl Performance

in News

Justin Timberlake has honored Prince during his second Super Bowl appearance with an unfortunate choice of song.

Timberlake covered Prince’s ‘I Would Die 4 U’ as part of his halftime entertainment spot at Super Bowl in Minneapolis. ‘I Would Die 4 U’ was originally from Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ album. Considering the title of the song, it was probably the most inappropriate song to choose as a tribute to a dead guy.

The Timberlake audience was spared a new album product placement setlist. Instead, Justin Timberlake opened with ‘Filthy’, the first single from his new album ‘Man of the Woods’ and then went into greatest hits mode.
