Bruno Mars is braced for cold weather during Super Bowl half-time show
It's not only the players who'll be shivering in New Jersey on February 2, the half-time entertainers will be literally shaking in their boots, too
Everyone is in Bruno Mars' ear about one thing when it comes to performing the Super Bowl halftime show: How will you deal with the freezing cold?
"Everyone's putting the fear of god in me like there's going to be a blizzard," Mars said, asking about the weather conditions in the New York-New Jersey area for his "research".
"I'm going to wear a beekeeper suit, I don't know," he answered about how he will keep warm when he performs on February 2. "I'm not going to know until I get there ... I'm not trying to hype myself up too much.
"I know it's going to be cold and I just got to face it."
The 28-year-old pop crooner will hit the stage for the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The singer, whose hits range from Grenade to Locked Out of Heaven, typically performs with a full band where he sings, dances and strums the guitar onstage. Mars' performance follows Beyonce's electrifying set earlier this year, where she danced tightly and sang powerfully, with the help of background dancers and Destiny's Child at the big game in New Orleans.
Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, the general manager of Beyonce's production house Parkwood Entertainment, said performing in cold weather created many challenges.
