The 27-year-old singer performed for 45,000 troops and their families, the epic event took place at the historic Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii.
"My team approached me with the idea, and I automatically said I am in—what an important show to be a part of," the star explains to E! News about how he got involved with the project. "It was very moving, and I was in awe of what many of our service men and women have been through."
Other celebrities that joined include Kevin Hart, Matthew McConaughey, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Riggle, Scott Eastwood, Terry Crews and Laird Hamilton. You can enjoy special performances by Nick Jonas, Flo Rida, Tenacious D, Katharine McPhee and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
When it came to his performance, Royce handpicked the songs he sang. "I wanted to sing something uptempo that everyone would enjoy so I chose "Back It Up" and I also sang "Darte Un Beso" (in Spanish) which is one of my songs that has been a favorite internationally," he said before adding." I wanted to honor so many of our service men and women who have Hispanic heritage.
Out of all the performances, the star said he liked Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's best. "I loved The Rock's performance—wow can he sing! It was a huge surprise and definitely a wonderful performance."
Royce says that he hopes the troops know, "That the show was a small way for us to show the great appreciation our country and its citizens have for what they do to keep us safe and protected each and every day."
