Black Eyed Peas promise no wardrobe malfunctions at 2011 Super Bowl
The Black Eyed Peas have been tapped as the first contemporary artist to perform as the SuperBowl halftime act since the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” of 2004, with safer living legend acts along the lines of Paul McCartney and The Who having filled the role in the mean time. But while the Peas are taking the Super Bowl honor seriously, that hasn’t kept them from having a sense of humor about it. Speaking with Beatweek today, when asked if he could guarantee there would be no wardrobe malefactions this time around, Black Eyed Peas co-founder apl.de.ap joked “I’ve been working out lately, you know, so I might want to show a little bit of muscle,” before making it clear that he was kidding.
“We learned not to do that from the past performances that we’ve witnessed,” apl said of the now-infamous 2004 controversy centered around the Super Bowl halftime show which featured Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. Of what he and his cohorts will.i.am, Fergie, and Taboo have up their sleeves for their own halftime show, apl teased about a possible jet pack before saying “We’ve got something really special but I don’t really want to give it away.”
February’s Super Bowl at Reliant Stadium in Dallas is far from the only stadium the Black Eyed Peas have their sights set on for 2011, as their tour plans include several stadium shows in support of their newly released album The Beginning and their current hit The Time (Dirty Bit).
The Black Eyed Peas are set to appear on the December 9th cover of Beatweek Magazine. Look for a full Peas conversation about the new album, the 2011 tour, their next single, and yes, more about the upcoming Super Bowl appearance.
