Speaking to Billboard about his plans for the 2021 Super Bowl halftime show, The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, said, “We’ve been really focusing on dialing in on the fans at home and making performances a cinematic experience, and we want to do that with the Super Bowl."
Last week, Tesfaye claimed his halftime performance would not feature any special guests, as he planned on headlining solo.
The “Blinding Lights” star appeared on NFL Network on Thursday 4 February to give a few clues about what to expect from the show.
“I’ve been reading a lot of rumours... I wouldn’t bet on it,” he said regarding speculation over guest artists who might appear.
“There wasn’t any room to fit it in the narrative, in the story I was telling in the performance. So yeah. There [are] no special guests,” he said.
