Following earlier reports that 29-year old singer Bruno Mars might be heading to the Super Bowl halftime extravaganza for the second time, the fans have been asking who would join Mars on the big event, according to reports.

Though there is currently no confirmation of the leaked names, rumors state that the four-piece band is already 'in-talks' about their possible appearance at the Super Bowl.

The source went on saying, "NFL bigwigs want a one-off that will be remembered and garner the greatest audience figures ever. Obviously the 12-minute halftime show will be worth millions in revenue, sales and downloads too. With the band finishing it would be the ultimate way for the group to say farewell to their fans."

The Super Bowl will kick off this February 7, 2016 at the Levi's Stadium situated in Santa Clara, California.
