Super Bowl Halftime Show SPOILER (from TMZ, so consider the source)

[Miles Archer]

As with every year, the halftime show for tomorrow's Super Bowl, which will be held at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, promises big surprises.

Hopefully our headline was enough to stop you if you didn't want to know this in advance - word is leaking out that Justin Timberlake's set will include a hologram to honor hometown hero Prince.

The news comes via TMZ, who don't say if this will mean Prince will appear in hologram form, or if it will be an image with which he is associated (purple raindrops, the Love Symbol, etc.). Their sources saw four run-throughs of Timberlake's performance, noting that one of them was filmed in case Timberlake has to cancel at the last minute for some reason. They added that there will be plenty of fireworks inside the stadium, but there will neither be a reunion with his former group NSYNC nor an appearance by Janet Jackson, whose halftime show performance with Timberlake in 2004 introduced the phrase "wardrobe malfunction" into the vernacular.

Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, has discussed the idea of a Prince hologram as part of an exhibition of her brother's memorabilia that will take place in London this October. “A hologram could be done as long as it is of excellent quality," she said. "It would have to allow the fans to experience Prince in the way he allowed us to experience his music.”
