People are having mixed feelings about Maroon 5 performing at the Super Bowl next year, and in a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres, he certainly didn’t help the anticipation. 

“It’s a rumor,” he stated. “I can neither confirm nor deny the truth of this rumor. It’s definitely a rumor. And the rumor is a rumor that everyone seems to be discussing.”

Though last September, numerous sources came out to confirm the performance, the NFL later issued a statement: “It’s a Super Bowl tradition to speculate about the performers for the Pepsi Halftime Show. We are continuing to work with [longtime sponsor] Pepsi on our plans but do not have any announcements to make on what will be another epic show.”

Still, Adam would be thrilled to do it. 

“It’s the Super Bowl,” he declared to Ellen. “It’s a great event, and there’s gonna be a band performing — or an artist of some kind, at halftime and it’s gonna be great regardless of who it is,” he said. “Whoever is lucky enough to get that gig is probably gonna crush it … Whoever does it is probably equal parts nervous and excited. This is all speculative cause I don’t know who I’m talking about.”
