Why Is Justin Timberlake Performing at the Super Bowl?
Justin Timberlake, best known for being the only member of NSYNC to thoroughly escape his boy band past, wearing matching Canadian tuxedos with Britney Spears in 2001 and making “SexyBack” the theme song of bat mitzvahs everywhere, is performing during halftime at the 2018 Super Bowl.
While everyone remembers Janet Jackson’s unfortunate “wardrobe malfunction” during halftime at the 2004 Super Bowl, few remember that it was Timberlake who revealed her pastie. But instead of inviting Jackson back to redeem herself, Timberlake will be taking the stage in February, perfectly timed to his Man Of The Woods album release.
Justin Timberlake on Janet Jackson Super Bowl aftermath: 'I stumbled through it'
Pop star Justin Timberlake says he has "made peace" with Janet Jackson, 14 years after his role in her infamous "wardrobe malfunction".
In case you've forgotten, Timberlake ripped a panel off Jackson's bodice during the 2004 Super Bowl, revealing her right breast to 14m TV viewers.
Although both artists apologised, it was Jackson who got fined and blacklisted by US radio and MTV.
"I stumbled through it," Timberlake told Zane Lowe about the aftermath.
"To be quite honest, I had my wires crossed.
"It's just something that you have to look back on and go, 'OK, you can't change what's happened, but you can move forward and learn from it.'"
