Sources: Bruno Mars Offered Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show After Strong '14 Performance

9.9.2015

Singer Bruno Mars "has been offered the headliner spot" for the Super Bowl 50 halftime show at Levi's Stadium, according to sources cited by Will Robinson of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY. Mars "previously fronted the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show" with a guest appearance from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Before being "usurped by Katy Perry’s turn at this year’s big game, Mars’ performance was the most-watched halftime show ever." Reps for Mars and the NFL "did not immediately respond" to a request for comment (EW.com, 9/8). BILLBOARD's Colin Stutz cited a source as saying that Mars has been asked to "'curate' the halftime show," meaning fans could "probably expect some impressive guests to join him, if he agrees" (BILLBOARD.com, 9/8).
