Adele admits snubbing the offer to sing at Super Bowl half -time show at Houston's NRG Stadium on February 2017.
During her Los Angeles concert on Saturday, the Grammy award-winning singer told the audience that she was offered the spot for next year’s grand event. “First of all, I’m not doing the Super Bowl. I mean, come on, that show is not about music. And I don’t really - I can’t dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I said no.”
According to The Sun, a source from NFL revealed that the American football honchos are overeager on having the English superstar perform in one of the world’s most famous sporting events. “There is nobody bigger in the world than Adele right now and organisers are doing absolutely everything they can to try to persuade her to sign up. She’s sold out every date on her tour, everyone wants a piece of her and they know they can bank on her bringing in the viewers.”
Contrary to the said report, the NFL and Pepsi released a joint statement to Billboard on Sunday denying the supposed formal proposal made to Adele.
"The NFL and Pepsi are big fans of Adele. We have had conversations with several artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, we have not at this point extended a formal offer to Adele or anyone else. We are focused on putting together a fantastic show for Houston and we look forward to revealing that in good time."
Adele has not commented yet on the NFL statement. Her fans would love to see her rock next year’s Super Bowl.
Should the Someone Like You crooner change her mind, she will be joining the exemplary list of artists that performed in the previous halftime shows like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyonce, Coldplay and Prince.
