Ed Sheeran Says “No One Wants” Him To Do the Super Bowl: “You See Michael Jackson & Beyonce…I’m Not That”

Ed Sheeran has not only delivered some of the century’s biggest Pop hits but he’s also performed them in some of the biggest arenas and stadiums around the world.

But even with titan chart-toppers like ‘Thinking Out Loud’ and ‘Shape of You’ in his arsenal, the GRAMMY winner isn’t so sure he’s the best pick for the biggest spectacle on Earth: the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

 

Recently sitting down with Andy Cohen‘s SiriusXM radio show, Sheeran touched on a number of hot topics including his hotly selling ‘Mathematics Tour,’ re-recording music with Taylor Swift, and so much more.

As eyes are shifting toward news of who will headline the next Super Bowl halftime show (a report that usually drops in September or October of the preceding year), Ed made it clear he does not think he’s the man for the job.

“There was a conversation a while ago — I think it was when Coldplay did it — of me going up to play ‘Thinking Out Loud.’ I think that would be the only way I’d do it, is if I was joining someone else,” he shared.

When quizzed about his lack of confidence, the British hitmaker shared he does not believe he has the “pizzazz” to do the gig justice.

“You watch Prince, you watch Michael Jackson, you watch Katy Perry, you watch Lady Gaga, you watch Rihanna, you watch Beyoncé — you watch all these amazing performers. I’m just not that,” he replied. “I’m not going to have dancers on stage, I’m not going to have fireworks on stage like The Weeknd. That’s not me. I don’t think anyone wants to see me do the Super Bowl.”

That’s not all he said. Press PLAY on the video above to hear his full statement.
