Taking place on Feb 4th, 2018 in Minneapolis, Superbowl LII is coming pretty quickly, and so many of us are not only excited for the game, but also for an excellent halftime show! Here’s what the NFL had to say:

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, he rapidly became a highly respected musician, winning two Grammys for his debut solo album, “Justified.” He has been recognized for a range of performances, including Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Dance Recording and Best Music Video.
