A to Z Superbowl Special!
Play

From Ri-Ri to ZZ Top, an alphabet of the half-time show stars!

With the cultural boycott, linked to the treatment of Colin Kaepernick, seemingly now passed, today's show is a celebration of the range of Superbowl half-time show performers - the most expensive advertising block on global television. With tales of the artist who was sued for $15 million dollars for raising the bird and a mix of lesser-known names from before it became the cultural juggernaut, the height of hype, it is today, as always you can expect quite a mix of sounds and eras! The year in brackets below denotes the year that performer did the show (there are also a few requests and I mark the semi-retirement of the prince of darkness too...)
