“We just started rehearsing two nights ago, and you never know what you’re going to expect,” Bruno, 28, says Thursday during the official press conference held in NYC. “There’s a lot of things that happen: It’s like the microphone turns into a popsicle. I’m grabbing the mic, and it’s frozen! We’ve got to get some heaters on everything.”

There to comfort him? Michelle Williams, who stole the show with Beyonce during their halftime show last year. Get this—she’s now reporting for Extra!

“I couldn’t believe it,” he tells her. “We were all watching it as a band when you performed with Beyonce, and we were just like ‘one day we’ll get the call to do that.’ It definitely came soon, but I’m honored. Some greats have been on that stage, and we’re excited that we’re getting this shot.”

As for keeping his coif in the potentially blustery weather?

“I’ve got three gallons of hairspray in this thing, so I’m good,” he jokes.
