Jennifer Hudson is set sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl in her first public performance since the shooting deaths of her mother, brother and nephew.
The former "American Idol" contestant and Oscar-winning "Dreamgirls" actress will open the NBC broadcast of the National Football League championship on February 1 in Tampa Bay.
In October, Hudson's mother, brother and nephew were shot to death in her hometown of Chicago.
Authorities have charged Hudson's estranged brother-in-law, William Balfour, with murder in the slaying of her family members.
