Wu-Tang Clan will headline the halftime show of the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Chicago Bears.
Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg are once again executive producing the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day halftime show and overseeing talent selection. Last year, they tapped Jack White for a blistering performance that featured a surprise appearance by Eminem himself.
“We often like to do things that are both exciting and unexpected. A Wu-Tang Clan Thanksgiving performance in Detroit certainly fits that description!” Rosenberg said in a statement. “Both Eminem and myself have been Wu fans since the early 90’s along with a whole generation of Detroit football fans, and we are honored to bring them to this year’s stage.”
