Justin Timberlake returned to the Super Bowl last night, delivering some of his biggest hits (alongside a fairly staid performance).
Appearing amid rumours of a “will he / won’t he” usage of a Prince hologram, Timberlake used the platform to indeed pay tribute to the Purple One, instead honouring him with a video backdrop whilst singing ‘I Would Die 4 U’.
Elsewhere throughout the performance, we saw a string of tracks from Justin’s discography – ‘Cry Me A River’, ‘My Love’ and his recent single ‘Filthy’ all featured, however coupled with the ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ close, the entire set seemed too ‘family-friendly safe’ versus what could have been a forward-thinking show.
