NFL Scores with Paul McCartney for Super Bowl Halftime Show
 Legendary rocker Paul McCartney will perform in the Ameriquest Mortgage Super
Bowl XXXIX Halftime Show on FOX at ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla., on
Sunday, Feb. 6.
"We are extremely pleased to work again with Paul McCartney,
one of the greatest musicians of our time, to create a memorable show," said
Steve Bornstein, the NFL's executive vice president of media. "Paul McCartney
will deliver an inspirational performance," he added.
"There's nothing bigger
then being asked to perform at the Super Bowl," said Paul McCartney. "We're
looking forward to rocking the millions at home and in the stadium."
"We're
thrilled Sir Paul McCartney has agreed to perform at halftime of Super Bowl
XXXIX," said FOX Sports Chairman David Hill. "He is the world's most influential
rock artist, and his music will forever be a part of our culture. He, more than
any other musician, lives up to this year's Super Bowl theme of 'Building
Bridges'. His music bridges generations, countries, cultures and musical genres.
I'm also sure that the duet Paul performed with Terry Bradshaw at Super Bowl
XXXVI was such a major event, that he couldn't wait to reunite with Terry in
Jacksonville."
This will be McCartney's second Super Bowl appearance. He
provided a memorable pre-game performance at Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans in
2002.
Watched by a record 144.4 million viewers in the U.S. last year, the
Super Bowl is annually the nation's highest-rated TV program and the
most-watched single-day sporting event. The game also will be broadcast in more
than 200 countries worldwide. Game time is 6 p.m. ET.
