The Weeknd Delights Audiences With Brilliant Super Bowl Halftime Show
Published
| Last updated
Fans were impressed by the Weeknd's halftime show at Super Bowl LV on Sunday night, with the Canadian performing on a spectacular stage.
The Super Bowl halftime show is always a huge highlight of the NFL's biggest event of the year, and the 55th edition of the match was no exception.
Canadian singer songwriter the Weeknd was the latest headline act to take on the role of performing the crowd in attendance, and millions watching at home, during the break in action.
The 30-year-old performed favourites such as I Can't Feel My Face, Save Your Tears and I Feel It Coming and started off on an elaborate stage with an orchestra playing behind him.
He then took to the pitch surrounded by 100s of dancers dressed the same as him, in red sparkly suits, with his now iconic face dressings, as spectacular fireworks were let off.

The Weeknd, as with every other halftime performer, was incredibly not paid for his performance, though the NFL do pay for the incredible production costs for the 15 minute show.
