LOS ANGELES, Sept 8: Singer Bruno Mars is reportedly set to perform at the half time show of the 2014 Super Bowl.
The ‘Treasure’ singer will be the musical act at the NFL Super Bowl XVLIII, held at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on February 2 next year, reported Los Angeles Times.
The 27-year-old star, who recently wrapped his Moonshine Jungle tour, has already been asked to perform during one of the biggest TV events in America, watched by an estimated 114 million every year.
An official announcement is expected to be made in New York’s Times Square.
This will mark the first time Mars has appeared at the Super Bowl and it was originally thought that New Jersey natives Bon Jovi would be asked to perform.
Super Bowl performances usually feature a number of special guests but it is not yet known who will join Mars on stage.
Beyonce Knowles performed at this year’s event in New Orleans and was joined on stage by her former Destiny’s Child band members, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
Other past performers include Madonna, whose show proved to be controversial when special guest star MIA swore on live TV camera. (PTI)
