The Who will perform during halftime at this year’s Super Bowl, according to reports.
The band, led by surviving members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, are all set for Super Bowl XLIV Feb. 7 in Miami, according to Sports Illustrated.
The NFL hasn’t confirmed the booking, saying only that, “When we have something to announce, we’ll announce it.”
But the choice of the renowned British rockers makes sense, since CBS uses Who songs as intros for all three of its “CSI” shows: “Who Are You” (“CSI“), “Baba O’Riley” (“CSI: NY“) and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” (“CSI: Miami“).
The Super Bowl — which draws TV’s biggest annual audience — is traditionally a huge showcase for A-list acts during the halftime show.
In past years, the roster of performers has included Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson (and her infamous “wardrobe malfunction”), Paul McCartney, U2, The Rolling Stones, Prince and Bruce Springsteen.
CBS officials had no comment yesterday.
