Mike Patton—lead singer of Faith No More, Tomahawk, and Dead Cross—will grace tomorrow’s NFL Playoffs with a song... the National Anthem. The Dallas Cowboys will face off against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday (January 12) at L.A.’s Memorial Coliseum, starting at 8:15 p.m. EST. Patton will sing “The Star Spangled Banner” prior to kickoff.

Patton’s latest release with Dead Cross was the band’s 2017 eponymous debut. Faith No More dropped Sol Invictus—their first LP after an 18-year hiatus—in 2015.

Update (01/12 9:25 p.m. ET): Mike Patton was unable to sing the National Anthem at tonight’s Playoffs. He shared a statement on his Facebook page saying that he “woke up feeling horrible.” Find that below.
