JC Chasez Responds To Cancelled NFL Pro Bowl Gig

JC Chasez, who was scheduled to perform at Sunday’s NFL Pro Bowl, has been axed from the halftime festivities. “In light of what happened Sunday, we took a hard look at what he was going to perform and decided to move in another direction,” league spokesperson Brian McCarthy said Wednesday. “This is a reflection of what was communicated by the league on Monday.
