Jennifer Hudson is set to make a high profile return to performing when she sings the national anthem at Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida on February 1, 2009.
This will be Hudson’s first public performance since the tragic death of her mother, brother and nephew last fall.
Jennifer Hudson is using sports’ grandest stage to make her return to the spotlight. The NFL confirmed Wednesday that Hudson will sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl in Tampa, on Feb. 1. E! News first reported that Hudson would perform.
Hudson hasn’t appeared in public since her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were slain in Chicago last fall. Her estranged brother-in-law has been charged in the killings.
Hudson, who had released her debut album shortly before the killings, will also sing at the Grammys’ MusiCares event a few days later.
