Adele ‘eyeing up Super Bowl halftime performance show after NFL demands’

Rolling In The Deep singer Adele could make a comeback in 2026 at the NFL Super Bowl, just two years after her last concert residency in Munich

Adele is rumoured to be in the running for the Super Bowl halftime show next year

Adele is set to be toying with the idea of performing at the 2026 NFL Super Bowl halftime show. The Someone Like You singer has been reportedly approached to perform during the break of play at next year’s Super Bowl.

The performance slot, which has seen the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, and Beyonce take to the stage, is regarded as one of the most-well-viewed television events in the world. And according to reports, the Grammy Award-winning singer is tempted to take the NFL producers up on an offer to sing at the halftime show.

Back in 2016, the singer-songwriter turned down the Super Bowl performance, arguing the “show is not about the music”, adding “maybe next time”.

It seems “next time” may have come, as she is speculated to be considering the performance, as well as a series of stadium shows next year. This is despite telling fans at the end of her Las Vegas residency that she “will not see you for an incredibly long time”.

She explained: “I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break, and I will fantasise about these shows and any shows that I’ve done over the last three years. It has been amazing, I just need a rest. I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now.”

Adele hasn’t performed in the UK since BST Hyde Park in 2022. In 2024, she built her own venue in Munich for a series of outdoor concerts and then took on a Las Vegas residency.

Sources close to Adele have said she will only perform events that allow her to travel less so she can spend time with her family. While performing in Munich, Adele travelled between the city and her home in Los Angeles, just like she did when she was completing her Las Vegas residency.

The singer has one child and is engaged to Rich Paul, an agent to many NFL players, who may well be at the Super Bowl anyway.

Another singer who has been speculated for the halftime show is Taylor Swift, who recently got engaged to Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. NFL Comissioner Roger Goodell said in an interview with NBC that Taylor was “welcome” to perform and teased that something might be in the works.

“We would always love to have Taylor play,” he said. “She is a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time.”

Pregnant Georgia Harrison imposing strict ban on first child – and parents are divided

Former Love Island and Love Island All Stars favourite Georgia Harrison is expecting her first child this November – and the mum-to-be has already imposed strict rules about her child’s future

Pregnant Georgia Harrison’s strict parenting rule for unborn baby sparks debate(Image: Instagram)

Pregnant Love Island star Georgia Harrison has revealed strict rules she plans to enforce when raising her first child with boyfriend Jack Stacey, due November 5.

The 30-year-old, who announced her pregnancy in April, says she won’t allow her child to have a phone or access social media, citing her own traumatic experience with ex Stephen Bear, who was jailed for sharing an intimate video of her without consent.

Opening up about the trauma she faced after the life-changing ordeal, Georgia explained her approach to a no-phones household as she insisted that she wants to protect her child as much as she can.

“I’ll do my best in the household just to try and educate them the most I can. But I really hope that by the time my kids do get of age, that actually the education systems will be doing a lot of that.

“I hope actually that the legal system tightens laws around children’s access to social media. I know Australia have been doing that. And I just think it would be such a better place if kids didn’t have social media up until the age of like 16,” she shared.

Sharing her thoughts with The Sun, Georgia added: “I just think, you know, the world’s so hard to navigate as it is. They don’t need to be exposed to so much. And I saw Robbie Williams saying the other day that he’s not letting his kids have a phone. And he’s like, I just don’t care.

“I’m not going to let them have a phone until a certain age. And I think that might be something that me and my partner do look into because I don’t want my kids to be exposed to things that do make them understand misogynistic tendencies. They won’t learn it in my household.”

Georgia has previously outlined other rules, including banning friends and family from kissing her baby after sharing a cautionary reel about herpes on Instagram. She captioned it: “To all my friends and family don’t be offended when I tell you to back off.”

The Love Island star shared her wonderful pregnancy news in April, at the time telling the Mirror that she was excited to have children ‘sooner rather than later’.

“We both definitely wanted children, and while some may say it feels too soon, we know that this is amazing news and we couldn’t be happier,” she said at the time.

“We’ve both lived so much already, partied to a point that is probably concerning, and done everything fun you could possibly do. If we’re lucky enough to be able to have kids, why not have them sooner rather than later.”

Reflecting on meeting her partner Jack and falling pregnant, Georgia said: “If you don’t go to the interview, you’re not going to get the job, are you? I was thinking, ‘I’m nearly 30, I really want to make an effort to meet someone’.

“But I was quite pessimistic about love in general. It took me a while to really believe that someone could treat me so well, but Jack did. Now here we are, living together and about to have a baby! I do believe the things I’ve experienced in my past were meant to lead me to where I am now.”

Robert Bedford’s ‘best friend’ Paul Newman’s touching final words before his death

Robert Redford forged lifelong bonds with co-stars like Paul Newman, Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, and Barbra Streisand, whose before his death at the age of 89

Best-known to many as the twinkly-eyed outlaw in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford’s relationship with his co-star Paul Newman was perhaps the most important of his six-decade career.

They remained close until Paul died in 2008, and in the final months of his life he sent Robert a poignant handwritten letter which said: “You were always the Sundance to my Cassidy.”

Devastated by the loss, it took Robert weeks to find the right words, and he eventually said: “It was like losing my balance. Like one leg of the table was gone. He was my partner. My friend. My brother.”

A shared love of banter on the Butch Cassidy set once saw Paul fill Robert’s car with popcorn. He retaliated by unscrewing all the lug nuts on Paul’s tyres, causing one to roll off as he drove to the studio lot.

“It was like we were teenage boys who happened to be in a Western,” Robert later said. Their natural chemistry ran so deep that when they reunited for The Sting in 1973, they barely rehearsed, with director George Roy Hill telling the crew, “Just roll the cameras and let them do their thing.”

Another hugely influential figure was Robert’s Out of Africa co-star Meryl Streep, who said upon the news of his death: “One of the lions has passed. Rest in peace my lovely friend.”

In one of Out of Africa’s most touching scenes, Robert – who starred as game-hunter Denys – washed her character Karen’s hair by the river.

“It was magical,” Meryl said of the experience. “We see so many sex scenes in movies, but rarely something with that kind of tenderness and intimacy. I never wanted it to end – even though we were surrounded by hippos.”

Jane Fonda was another key of his key leading ladies, and after working together on 1960’s Tall Story they collaborated again in 1966’s The Chase and then Barefoot in the Park the following year.

Nearly four decades later, they reunited for Netflix film Our Souls at Night, which explored late-in-life romance. “It just makes a lot of sense, the two of us in a movie like this,” Jane said, adding that it felt “like hands going into comfortable gloves.”

Reacting to his death, she said: “I can’t stop crying. He meant a lot to me and was a beautiful person in every way. He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for.”

Meanwhile, it was Barbra Streisand who convinced Robert to star in 1973 film The Way We Were after he turned down the role – twice. “Bob is that rare combination,” she once said. “An intellectual cowboy… a charismatic star who is also one of the finest actors of his generation. He’s almost apologetic about his looks, and I liked that about him.”

Summing up his appeal, late director Sydney Pollack who partnered with Robert on seven films, said: “He never seduces his audience but makes them come to him.””

That was surely never more evident than in survival drama All is Lost, in which Robert spoke just 51 words – and still found himself nominated for a Golden Globe.

In the caption, she wrote a sweet tribute to the “wonderful” man. Losing you so soon has left us all utterly heartbroken, it still doesn’t feel quite real, all of the wonderful times and memories we made together, I have been so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life, a man we all looked up to I always said you was The Best!

“And I meant it, you truly was the best father in law, dad and grandad we could ever wish for. I will miss laughing with you, dancing with you, our chats, making you endless amounts of tea and coffee, playing all of your games, I adored you , you was kind, happy, thoughtful and fun.

A third went on to write: “He really was the most wonderful man. Such wonderful memories you can cherish forever. Love you darling.” Billie’s mum, Suzie, added: “We have lost an amazing man. He loved you all so much he will never be forgotten he shall live in our hearts and memories forever.”

Earlier this month, Dave, 77, died. His death was quite sudden for the family, who still felt he had more life left in him.

In a statement posted online, Greg announced the news to fans. “I’m gutted and heartbroken to be writing this, but this time last week, my dad Dave passed away suddenly,” he wrote. “He was 77, but still had so much more to give, and that’s what makes this so hard.”

Customers are absolutely delighted with these boots, with one 5-star reviewer gushing: “I bought these boots during one of last year’s (many) wet spells for cycling to and from work, and ended up keeping them on all day instead of changing into my normal shoes/boots! They’re comfy, and great at keeping rain and spray/splashes out (especially with waterproof trousers over them), but also look good – I’ve worn them into meetings, restaurants, etc., and they appear almost like regular ankle boots. With all the wet weather we’ve had over the past year, they’ve been a real godsend!”

I walked miles and they were wearing slippers! They are perfect for the wider foot/ankle. They go with ease. Would highly recommend purchasing these boots.”

And this buyer beams: “They are the most comfortable wellies ever, the elastic width makes it easy to put on. I would highly recommend, from a gardener who wears them most days. Good fit, looks good on. It’s been dry, so I can’t say anything about any leakage yet.”

Though one less-than-impressed customer does note: “Bought these to walk dog on fields and wire them first day after receiving them. Sorry to say that the side gusset allows water in and the top also, my feet were wet within minutes walking on wet grass. Disappointed to say the least as I wanted wellies not too long but weatherproof.”
