Performing during the Super Bowl halftime show may seem like a dream for many celebrities and you may wonder why some of them have turned the offer down.
Tonight, R&B icon Usher will be headlining the show in Las Vegas and promised that fans will be in for a treat. In a recent interview, the artist gushed about his upcoming opportunity and said: “This is the most grand stage to ever play on. Those 13 minutes [on stage] mean everything. It’s been on my bucket list for a long time.
“I’ve been asked what are the things that matter the most and it’s obviously performing but being able to perform on that stage because all of these amazing performers throughout the years have graced it and did an amazing job, so that’s where the obsession with that starts,” he told Apple Music. But over the years, artists including Jay-Z and Adele have refused to play during the Super Bowl – and here, we explain why.
