The NFL reportedly wants Bruno Mars to perform the Super Bowl halftime show ... again

Bruno Mars once again performing on the biggest stage? Maybe.

The NFL loves Bruno Mars so much, they reportedly have decided to ask for his services again for Super Bowl halftime show, according to Billboard.

The NFL is inviting back Bruno Mars for next year’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show, a source has confirmed to Billboard. The “Uptown Funk” singer was on the big stage just two years ago for Super Bowl XLVIII with special guests Red Hot Chili Peppers, followed by Katy Perry last year.But he just performed at Super Bowl XLVIII two years agooooooo...

Director of media events for the NFL Sarah Moll talked to Billboard in December last year about booking the Super Bowl halftime special. She said then that the initial conversation to book Mars for Super Bowl XLVIII got going because she was a “huge fan” of his. “Myself and our producer, Ricky Kirshner, were both personal fans of Bruno and had seen him in concert and knew what he could do,” she said. “And it was a lot of just telling folks here and getting folks excited about Bruno and taking them to shows and letting them see what he could do. And that’s kind of what got it going.“Then again, this is the same league that wanted a “make up” payback on a team for spying by pursuing a deflated balls saga, so we shouldn’t be surprised by instant, uninspiring and retread Super Bowl halftime choices.
