Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play the halftime slot at
the Super Bowl in Tampa, Fla., snagging the spot at the most-watched
musical event of the year, according to the organizers.
This year, more than 148 million viewers in the U.S. watched Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers play at the championship game of American football, the National Football League said yesterday (Sept. 28).
Other
recent halftime acts have included Prince, the Rolling Stones, Paul
McCartney and U2. The most infamous performer was Janet Jackson, who
bared her breast during the 2004 event, triggering a crackdown on
televised smut. The Super Bowl will be televised by NBC.
Springsteen and the E Street Band recently finished an extensive world tour in support of the 2007 album "Magic."
