The Weeknd will be the main attraction at the 55th Super Bowl halftime show. The Canadian proudly announced this via Instagram.
Great honor for Canadian Abel Makkonen Tesfaye alias The Weeknd (30, "After Hours"): As the R&B musician has confirmed on his official Instagram account, he will be the main act of the halftime show at the Super Bowl next year for an audience of billions heat up. "I'll perform on the iconic stage. You'll see me on February 7th, 2021," The Weeknd wrote about a picture of himself.
Recently there had been reports that the final of the American football professional league could be postponed due to Corona. The official confirmation of the gig now seems to contradict these rumors. The Weeknd will follow in the footsteps of Jennifer Lopez (51) and Shakira (43), who played the traditionally epochal halftime show this year, at the 55th edition of the NFL final.
