The Detroit Lions are in for a treat coming the holiday season as Jack White has been announced as the Thanksgiving game headliner.

The 12-time Grammy-winning artist and Detroit native will be performing during the Thanksgiving halftime show as the Lions will face the Green Bay Packers. This announcement is on the heels of White's induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame on Nov. 8 as a member of The White Stripes.

Gospel singer and Detroit native CeCe Winans will perform the national anthem. Winans is a 15-time Grammy winner, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the Gospel Hall of Fame.

This follows the announcement that Eminem and the president of Shady Records, Paul Rosenberg, will serve as executive producers of the show along with Jesse Collins Entertainment.
