Coldplay to honor past present and future at Super Bowl

Coldplay will be making their first appearance at the NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show. The Super Bowl 50 channel will vary from location to location, but it is on CBS everywhere, so you just need to figure out what channel CBS is on your TV or with your antenna.

Nobody wants musical surprises at concerts or new songs.

The singer then put on an entertaining show belting out his smash hits Locked Out Of Heaven, Treasure, Runaway Baby, whilst he danced constantly throughout. It’s much better now. Kicking things off will be versatile lady Gaga, who will sing the national anthem.

Janet’s brother Michael’s 1993 show is remembered as the pre-cursor to the over-the-top performances we see today.

However, despite Janet’s wardrobe malfunction that night, it was still regarded as one of the best Super Bowl halftime performances, according to Kron4 News.
