Justin Timberlake will return to the Super Bowl Half Time stage later this evening (4th February), and whilst fans are speculating about a possible *NSYNC reformation, new reports are now circulating that a Prince hologram will appear mid-way through the set.

According to TMZ, the hologram will be used to honour the late musician, who performed at the Super Bowl in 2007.

Alongside the Prince rumours, Janet Jackson has also waded into the conversation, confirming that she will not be returning to the stage alongside Justin. In an Instagram statement, the singer said “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”.

UPDATE: Prince’s former drummer Sheila E has now confirmed that the hologram tribute will no longer be used during the show, tweeting “Family, I spoke w/Justin 2nite and he shared heartfelt words of respect for Prince & the Purple fans. I look 4wrd 2 seeing what I’m sure is going 2 be a spectacular halftime show. There is no hologram.”

Timberlake’s half-time show is scheduled to be aired around 1am GMT.
