Ed Sheeran gives an honest opinion on leading NFL Halftime Shows

The English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is one of the greatest artists of the 2010s. The performer whose hits include “Shape of You”, “Perfect”, “Photograph” and several others has enchanted audiences with his vocals and singing caliber. However, when asked whether he’d headline the halftime show, the Englishman has an interesting take on the same. He said “I don’t have pizazz. Like, all of these amazing performers — I’m just not that. I’m not gonna have dancers on stage. I’m not gonna have fireworks and blah blah,  don’t think that anyone wants to see me do the Super Bowl either.”
