NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- John Legend is set to headline the pre-game show at Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa Fla., the NFL and NBC announced Wednesday.

The show, featuring special guest T-Pain, is to air on NBC Sunday.

It will be Legend's second Super Bowl appearance. He performed as part of a "Salute to Motown" during the Super Bowl XL pre-game show in Detroit, Columbia Records noted in a news release.

Grammy-nominated recording artist T-Pain is expected to join him on stage for an "electrifying version" of "Green Light," Legend's current hit single, the label said.
