Journey will perform during the pre-game show, and Jennifer Hudson will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in her first public appearance since the murder of her nephew, brother and mother. Hudson becomes the second consecutive alumna from the American Idol television series to perform the national anthem at a Super Bowl (Jordin Sparks sang the anthem at Super Bowl XLII). The national anthem will be translated into American Sign Language by Kristen Santos. Following the anthem, the U. S. Air Force Thunderbirds will perform a fly-over. John Legend and Faith Hill will also perform prior to the game.
