Bruno Mars may be popping up for Coldplay‘s halftime show featuring Beyonce at Super Bowl 50 when the Denver Broncos take on the Carolina Panthers at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium in California this Sunday (Feb. 7).
While Billboard reported last September that the National Football League asked the “Uptown Funk” singer to “curate” the halftime set, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin seemed to confirm Mars’ involvement in a performance capacity during a clip of CBS’ Sunday Morning posted on Twitter.
Bruno Mars Asked to Perform, ‘Curate’ Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show
“This may be Beyonce’s footprint,” Martin jokes in the video. “I’d say she was here about four hours ago. Let’s look for a Bruno one.” To note, ET Online and SB Nation have reported that Mars was added to the bill, though the league and the performer have yet to confirm the news.

Super Bowl 50 would mark a repeat performance from Mars, who helmed the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show as a headliner in 2014. This year’s Big Game will air on Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
Billboard‘s requests for comment from the NFL and reps for Mars and Coldplay were not immediately answered.
