Coldplay to honor past, present and future at Super Bowl
“Everyone who does this show knows it’s the biggest honour, it’s the biggest privilege”, the group’s frontman Chris Martin told a news conference held in San Francisco.
Martin mentioned that the band does not dance, nor will their songs inspire you to get up and shake your booty.
Not only that, it has also been rumoured that Beyonce is gearing up to announce a brand new World Tour for later this year.
Martin continued, “Everything will shut down for two minutes while we replace whichever shark has messed up”.
“No viewer at home will have any shark-based trauma”, he promised, before thinking more seriously about his answer.
Coldplay appeared at a press conference ahead of the Super Bowl yesterday (February 4) and were asked by a reporter what their “Left Shark moment” might be.
Sure, the majority of tuners in are National Football League fans, watching for the game at hand – but there are those who tune in for the traditional and always-memorable halftime show. “I think most people would agree”.
Just as JT’s “Rock Your Body” came to an end, Timberlake reached across Jackson’s chest, exposing her for all to see. The band will be launching a US tour in support of the album this coming summer. On Monday, Cam newton said his favorite Coldplay song was the hit Clocks. Although speculation remains high that Bruno Mars will join the party – and the singer was spotted Wednesday wearing Oakland A’s gear in downtown San Jose – nothing has been confirmed by Mars or the NFL. Other guests remain a mystery.
That’s the kind of thing you definitely can’t say on live TV in the United States without attracted the attention of the FCC, but Martin simply smiles through it. It makes you wonder exactly what he and the band do have planned for the show, which will also include an appearance by Beyonce. The NFL hasn’t looked back since, so when see those big names at Super Bowl 50, you know who to thank.
Martin, however, did offer a tongue-in-cheek solution to avoid a repeat performance.
“We started in Iowa three years ago…”, Martin said.
As for some of the worst halftime shows ever, Chase thinks the 1995 Indiana Jones stunt spectacular is by far the worst. Pepsi stepped in, they gave us a bigger bus, we got some stickers: Coldplay for 2016.
All was going to plan, as she acted as the quasi-gladiatorial captain of a cheerleading squad that included LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and CeeLo Green. “She said, ‘How are you feeling about the Super Bowl?’ I said, ‘Of course we’re a little bit nervous, ‘” Chris recalled (via CBS).
