Prince’s family claim there will no hologram during Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl half-time show
Put away your raspberry berets, for the family of the late Prince have claimed that there will be no hologram to the Purple Rain singer at Sunday’s Super Bowl half-time show.
After TMZ claimed that the hologram would appear as a tribute to the pop star as part of Justin Timberlake‘s appearance, his family tweeted a no entry sign along with the hashtag ‘#PrinceHologram’.
The account is managed by his brother, Omarr Baker.
Nothing is set in stone for JT’s show although it is thought that the 37-year-old, who performed a full run-through that was filmed for TV just in case of emergencies, will not be bringing his former N*SYNC band members on stage.
Nor Janet Jackson.
Janet herself confirmed there would be no redemption for Justin – after the infamous nipple-gate scandal in 2004 – tweeting on Saturday: ‘To put to rest any speculation or rumors as to whether I will be performing at the Super Bowl tomorrow: I will not.
‘Thank you for your support and I do look forward to seeing you all very soon.’
Janet was the half-time show headliner at Super Bowl XXXVIII, and she invited Timberlake on as a guest to perform his song Rock Your Body.
When Justin sang ‘bet I have you naked by the end of this song’, he was supposed to rip off the front of her bustier – however, he tore off Janet’s bra as well, exposing her breast, which was adorned with nipple jewellery.
The scandal derailed Jackson’s career for years; but Justin’s remained fairly untouched, with the former N*SYNC star becoming one of music’s most successful male soloists.
