(Reuters) – Grammy Award-winning pop singer Justin Timberlake will headline the Super Bowl halftime show in February, 14 years after a &ldquo-wardrobe malfunction&rdquo- overshadowed his last gig at the championship game, the NFL said on Sunday.
This will mark Timberlake&rsquo-s third time on the halftime stage, giving the &ldquo-Can&rsquo-t Stop The Feeling&rdquo- singer the distinction of having the most appearances by an individual entertainer, the National Football League said in a statement.
The 10-times Grammy winner last performed at the Super Bowl in 2004 when he infamously ripped off part of Janet Jackson&rsquo-s garment during their halftime show in Houston and briefly bared her breast.
The incident coined the phrase &ldquo-wardrobe malfunction&rdquo-
The Super Bowl is the most-watched event on U.S. television, drawing more than 100 million viewers. Previous halftime headliners include Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and Madonna.
