It appears that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be part of the next Super Bowl. According to The New York Post, the singer and the band are said to appear in the next Super Bowl XLIII, which will take place on February 1^st in Tampa, Florida.

Even if reports claimed it was a sure thing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play at the Super Bowl, the NFL didn’t confirm the news.

“We don't talk about our talent discussions. We don't have any talent confirmed for the Super Bowl,” said league spokesman Brian McCarthy, according to Variety.

Bruce Springsteen’s reps didn’t confirm either.

If the reports are confirmed, the Boss and the band will be the halftime entertainment for the next Super Bowl. Other great names have performed in recent years at the Super Bowl: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince and Janet Jackson, whose performance is known as the “wardrobe malfunction,” causing an investigation by the FCC.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band finished a yearlong tour for the latest album “Magic.” On April 17, Danny Federici, original member of the band, died at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City after a three-year battle with melanoma. Danny Federici, 58, had been playing music with Springsteen since the 1960s. He and original E Street Band drummer Vini Lopez first invited Springsteen to join their band.

Last year, in November, Federici dropped out of the group’s U.S. tour to undergo treatment for the skin cancer. At the time, Springsteen described Federici as “one of the pillars of our sound and has played beside me as a great friend for more than 40 years.” The tour was in support of the newest studio effort from the Boss and The E Street Band, “Magic.” This was their first full-scale U.S. and European tour in four years.
