MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – American Idol’s Jessica Sanchez will sing the US national anthem before the Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley World Welterweight Championship, Saturday, June 9, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Sanchez will be singing before a live audience of over 16,000 fans and tens of millions of viewers worldwide watching it live on Pay-Per-View, promoters said in a statement.

Sanchez will be joining the rest of Season’s 11’s Top 10 on the road this summer for the American Idols Live! Tour, which will begin July 6 in Detroit.

The half-Filipino landed second in the last season of ‘Idol’ in a sensational journey to stardom.
