“We are very excited to open Super Bowl 60 in our home. We are honored to celebrate the Most Valuable Players who have shaped this sport and sing for fans around the world,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, vocalist.
The expectation for the Super Bowl's musical offering was ignited in September of last year by the designation of Bad Bunny as the main artist due to the rejection of followers of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
The controversy was fueled last Saturday, after the Puerto Rican published a promotional video titled “On February 8 the world will dance” on his Instagram.
In the piece his recent hit 'Unforgettable Dance' from the album “I should throw more photos” plays, while he dances in a garden with a Latin woman, who is then replaced by men and women of different nationalities, in a message of openness to multiple cultures.
The video surpassed 3 million likes upon its launch.
