‘The Masked Singer’ First Look Features Explosive, Moody Cover of Bastille’s ‘Pompeii’ By Celebrity in ‘Ship’ Costume (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comMichael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “The Masked Singer” is back later this month, and Variety has the first look at one of the opening performances — as well as a reveal of two more costumes.
First up, here’s “Ship,” who performs a slowed down, moody version of Bastille’s “Pompeii” in the season premiere episode airing Wednesday, Sept 25th on Fox.
And then, there are two more costume reveals: “Leaf Sheep” and “Woodpecker,” who join “Ship” and the previously revealed “Chess Piece.” New this season, clues will be “strategically embedded in costumes, in song choices and on-stage moments.” And the fifteen celebrity contestants will be endorsed by a “celebrity Masked Ambassador,” made up of previous participants including Dick Van Dyke (Season 9’s Gnome), Jewel (Season 6 winner as the Queen of Hearts), Ne-yo (Season 10 winner as the Cow) and DeMarcus Ware (Season 11’s Koala).
As previously announced, “The Masked Singer” returns next month for Season 12 with a new batch of theme nights, including tributes to Mattel’s Barbie as it hits its 65th anniversary, and the film “Footloose” as it marks its 40th anniversary.
