“I stumbled through it,” Timberlake told Lowe, remembering his last Super Bowl appearance. “I had my wires crossed and it’s just something that you have to look back on and go like, ‘OK, well you know, you can’t change what’s happened but you can move forward and learn from it.

Elsewhere in the chat, Timberlake talked about working with Pharrell. Asked why he hasn’t worked with the producer since his breakthrough ‘Justified’, JT said it was down to a dispute within his label Jive – adding that he was “extremely hurt by being caught up in the middle of it”. 

The full Beats 1 interview is set to air tomorrow (January 18).
