Lions announce 17-time Grammy winner as Thanksgiving national anthem singer

DETROIT – More star power will be a big part of the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game. Detroit native, CeCe Winans will perform the national anthem.
The gospel singer and winner of 17 Grammy Awards, will sing The Star-Spangled Banner before kickoff at the annual Thanksgiving game at Ford Field on Thursday, November 27.
Winans is also a member of the Gospel Hall of Fame and has won 33 Dove Awards.
Newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Detroit’s Jack White,” will be the halftime performer at the game.
White and Meg White of The White Stripes were just inducted into the Rock Hall last weekend.
Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, president of Shady Records, will be the executive producers of the Lions Thanksgiving half time show this season, and the next two seasons.
Both he and Rosenberg were also executive producers of the nationally televised Michigan Central Station concert last summer, which saw Eminem headline with four songs at the end.
That concert was also produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment, who will produce the Lions Thanksgiving halftime performances.
