Despite his success, Ed Sheeran explained that he can’t imagine himself singing his hits like The A Team or Perfect during the Super Bowl. Ed Sheeran, one of the biggest names in global music with multiple Grammy wins and billions of streams, recently opened up about why he hasn’t headlined the Super Bowl halftime show—and why he may never. Despite his massive success, the Azizam singer shared that he can’t picture himself performing songs like The A Team or Perfect on such a high-octane stage, saying, “No one wants to see that.
" Ed also revealed that about a decade ago, he had a conversation with someone regarding the show, but chose not to disclose the artist’s name. The singer added that he’d only consider being part of the halftime performance if he were a guest joining another artist on stage, rather than headlining it himself. During an appearance on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy, the singer explained, “There was a conversation about 10 years ago to go on with someone and I think that would be the only way I would do it.
I’ve had this conversation before and I don’t think English artists, there are some that have the pizzazz of Super Bowl, fireworks, dances blah blah blah, but me going up there and being like here’s The A Team and here’s Perfect, no one wants to see that. If it was Beyonce’s show and she had all the kind of bells and whistles and then there was a moment where we sung Perfect together that makes sense to me, but me, I don’t know, I can’t picture myself doing it." “I would definitely go on and do it with someone, but I don’t think my set lends itself to that.
I think I could nail one song, I think I could if someone brings me on, I think I could do it really well for one song but I can’t. My catalogue that I have doesn’t really lend itself, have you seen me play because it’s with a loot pedal and you have to build the things, doesn’t really lend itself to the Super Bowl, ‘Hey hang on guys, I just got to set this up for 2 minutes’," Ed Sheeran added. Ed Sheeran recently dropped a new single titled Azizam, one of the first tracks leading up to his next album, Play.
During a previous appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Grammy-winning singer also opened up about his long-term musical plans. He revealed that Play is just the beginning, with four more albums in the pipeline Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, and Stop, promising a creatively themed musical journey ahead..
