Multiple
Grammy Award-winning singer Adele says she turned down an offer to perform atthe 2017 Super Bowl halftime show. The only problem? According to the
NFL, they
never made the singer an official offer.
The British
singer told an audience Saturday at her Los Angeles concert that she was asked
to perform at the event.
"First of
all, I'm not doing the Super Bowl," Adele says from the stage in a video
posted on Twitter. "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 did say no."
She adds:
"I'm sorry, but maybe next time."
However, the NFL and the halftime show sponsor Pepsi told Billboard in a joint statement no formal offer has been made.
"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."
Performers at
previous halftime shows have included Beyonce, Madonna, the Rolling Stones and
Prince.
