Justin Timberlake - Pepsi Super Bowl LII Halftime Performance

After opening backstage with his new single "Filthy," Timberlake wisely transitioned things into the bright spots of his early career with "Rock Your Body," "Senorita" and "Sexy Back," and More Songs as he took the stage in the center of the stadium. 

Timberlake paid tribute to the Minneapolis rock legend in his hometown by projecting video of him from the movie “Purple Rain” on a large sheet draped from the ceiling as a snippet of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U” played.

“Two fingers in the air for Prince tonight,” he told the crowd, which had been given small LED lights at every seat that turned a purple tint to match the Minnesota Vikings’ new home field.
