CURIOUS music fans are wondering whether Kenny G will make a surprise appearance at Super Bowl LV after collaborating with The Weeknd on the singer’s most recent album.
The popular saxophonist appears on The Weeknd‘s remix of In Your Eyes, and some of the singer’s fans believe the duo will perform the hit at the halftime show during the big game on February 7.
Who is musician Kenny G?
Born in Seattle, Washington as Kenneth Bruce Gorelick, Kenny G is a contemporary and smooth jazz saxophonist.
He found breakthrough success with his fourth studio album, Duotones, in 1986 and he’s since become the best-selling instrumental musician worldwide with more than 75million records sold.
Kenny G, who began playing saxophone at just 10 years old in 1966, gained international success during the 1990s but has recently resurfaced on a collaboration with The Weekend.
He was featured on The Weeknd’s fourth studio album, After Hours, on the third single from the release In Your Eyes (remix).
Is he performing at Super Bowl 2021?
It’s unclear whether Kenny G will join The Weeknd for the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show, but some Reddit users are hopeful he’ll make a cameo.
“With The Weeknd doing the halftime show this year, there’s a good chance Kenny G ends up making an appearance since he’s on the remix of “In Your Eyes,” which is probably the third biggest hit off of The Weeknd’s new album After Hours,” user IHAVEACHILD mused.
A Kenny G appearance is possible – the saxophonist joined the Canadian artist on stage at the 2020 American Music Awards to perform In Your Eyes.
Who’s performing at Super Bowl 2021?

According to reports, he’ll spend $7million of his own money to put on his Super Bowl halftime performance.
He’s not being paid for the gig, but the benefits he receives from his upcoming performance should be invaluable.
The Super Bowl typically covers production costs, but this year, The Weeknd will front the cash to “make this halftime show be what he envisioned” according to his XO team.
