Los Angeles, Nov. 22 (Reuters): Paul McCartney will be the featured performer in the next Super Bowl halftime show and organisers promised there won?t be any flesh-flashing this time.
Last February?s broadcast on CBS, in which Janet Jackson?s wardrobe ?malfunctioned? during a duet with pop star Justin Timberlake, spurred hundreds of thousands of complaints to federal regulators.
National Football League spokesman Brian McCarthy told Reuters yesterday that there won?t be any such malfunctions during the 12-minute performance, which will be aired on the Fox network.
He said the February 6 show will have wide audience appeal and bridge several generations of fans.
?We?re very cognisant we?ll be under spotlight with this year?s halftime show and we?ve looked at all facets of the show including talent selection, song selection and costume selection, to ensure we wouldn?t have a repeat of what happened last year,? McCarthy said.
?We?re very comfortable that this year?s show will be acceptable to a mass audience and won?t have any issues.?
