By the time that happens, music’s biggest stage will have already hosted some of music’s biggest names singing the national anthem, “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the Black national anthem.

“Without question, I am a man of collaborations, it’s part of the reason I have been as successful as I have been, both in creating music that the world sings, and also the moments that the world remembers,” he said. “I’m hoping that I can re-light the fire that all of it has come from, and maybe invite some of those people to join me in that incredible moment.”
He was not, however, naming names.
“I can’t give too much, because I don’t want to blow it,” he said. “But I will say that that moment will not only represent me, but it will represent my legacy and the things that I’ve been a part of in collaboration. It will remind the world that when you do collaborate, something amazing does happen.”
