Champ Kind Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Soul star John Legend will sing patriotic hymn "America the Beautiful" at the Super Bowl, generally the most-watched event of the year on US television, the National Football League said. The Grammy-winning singer, who topped the charts with his 2013 piano ballad "All of Me," will perform the hymn before kickoff at the American football championship game to be held February 1 in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. Last year, the Super Bowl invited 26 children from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut -- where a gunman weeks earlier had killed an equal number of children and teachers -- to perform "America the Beautiful" alongside singer Jennifer Hudson. The Broadway actress Idina Menzel will also be at the Super Bowl to sing the national anthem, the NFL and network NBC said.
