R&B star Alicia Keys is clearly a fan of sporting events. Fresh off of her soulful rendition of the national anthem at last weekend's Super Bowl, the NBA has announced that the singer will perform during the halftime show at the NBA All-Star game on Feb. 17 in Houston.

The event-packed All-Star Weekend will also include a performance from Ne-Yo, who will sing during player introductions just before the game.

The night before the game, Ellie Goulding and newly reunited rockers Fall Out Boy will hit the stage. And, American Idol alum Phillip Phillips will sing during the day on Feb. 16 during the Skills Challenge.
