Justin Timberlake has honored Prince during his second Super Bowl appearance with an unfortunate choice of song.
Timberlake covered Prince’s ‘I Would Die 4 U’ as part of his halftime entertainment spot at Super Bowl in Minneapolis. ‘I Would Die 4 U’ was originally from Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ album. Considering the title of the song, it was probably the most inappropriate song to choose as a tribute to a dead guy.
The Timberlake audience was spared a new album product placement setlist. Instead, Justin Timberlake opened with ‘Filthy’, the first single from his new album ‘Man of the Woods’ and then went into greatest hits mode.
