The singing superstar is presently in rehearsals for both the Super Bowl and her NYE showcase in Las Vegas. And while much of the process has been shrouded in secrecy, the 31 year old shared the snap above with fans on Instagram accompanied with the hashtag – “#work” .

It’d be futile to speculate what King B watching, however it’s worth noting that the fellow standing is Ed Burke – who, over the years, has shadowed the singer for behind the scenes projects as well as music videos and live shows.

Now, the ‘Talk About Our Love’ singer is taking to ABC to talk about ringing in the new year on the ‘New Year’s Rockin Eve’ concert – joining a lineup that features Fergie, Taylor Swift, and more.
