British Pop Star Robbie Williams Sparks Super Bowl Halftime Show Rumors

The singer posted to X claiming he had been asked to perform at next year’s halftime show.

British singer Robbie Williams created a stir on Wednesday when he claimed on X that he was recently recruited to perform at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show. “OMG. I’ve just been asked to do next year’s halftime at the Super Bowl. So honoured guys. Thank you‚” Williams wrote. The 50-year-old, a founding member of ’90s boy band Take That, had moderate success as a solo artist in the U.S. after his split from the group. Though he was a superstar in the U.K., Europe, and Australia, Williams only scored on the Billboard Hot 100 twice, peaking at #53 with the song “Angels” in Jan 2000. Kendrick Lamar made history on Sunday with his halftime show performance, though he was named in September. 2024, just months ahead of the Super Bowl, putting Williams’ claims in doubt. A representative for Williams did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Williams is, however, expected to perform a song at this year’s FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S. as part of his ambassadorial role with the organization.
