During Jay-Z’s headlining concert in Paris on Thursday, Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams joined him on stage as surprise guests. The packed show at Stade de France, the country’s largest stadium, was part of Jay-Z’s “Jay-Z30” celebrations commemorating the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
Timberlake performed “Holy Grail” from Jay-Z’s 2013 album Magna Carta Holy Grail, and also sang “Until the End of Time,” his duet with Beyoncé from the deluxe edition of his 2006 album FutureSex/LoveSounds. Williams, who appeared at Jay-Z’s previous anniversary concerts in New York, performed multiple songs with Jay-Z including “Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)” and “Excuse Me Miss.”
Jay-Z marked 30 years of Reasonable Doubt and 25 years of The Blueprint with a three-night run at New York’s Yankee Stadium in July, featuring Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Eminem, Usher, Rihanna, Nas, and others. During his opening night at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Lauryn Hill and Wyclef performed Fugees hits “Ready or Not,” “Killing Me Softly,” and “Fu-Gee-La.”
Jay-Z will continue the celebrations at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday, October 23.
