Mike Posner and The Legendary Mike Posner Band had the unfortunate distinction of being the halftime performer during Thursday's game between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, guaranteeing an entire nation would pick apart their performance with ruthless scrutiny.
The Detroit-born Posner has experienced significant success in his career, with one of his music videos getting more than a billion views. But he met the same fate as previous halftime performers Jason DeRulo, Nickelback, and Andy Grammer.
That is to say, everyone had fun at his expense on social media:

the annual Lions Thanksgiving Halftime Show is the bankrupt man's version of the Super Bowl halftime show

Mike Posner is indeed being buried in Detroit on Twitter, as far as I can tell

Detroit has a rich and varied music history. That's all I'm gonna say about that.
