NEW YORK (AP) — All the single ladies will be watching the upcoming Super Bowl along with football lovers. That’s because Beyonce is the halftime show performer.

A source familiar with the Super Bowl told The Associated Press the Grammy-winning diva will take the stage at the halftime show on Feb. 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because that person wasn’t authorized to publicly reveal the information.

The official announcement is expected Wednesday, the source said.

Beyonce, whose pop and R&B hits include ‘‘Crazy in Love,’’ ‘'Irreplaceable’’ and ‘‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),’’ has won 16 Grammy Awards. The 31-year-old sang the national anthem at the 2004 Super Bowl in her hometown of Houston when the New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers.

Madonna performed at halftime at this year’s Super Bowl in February with guests CeeLo Green, Nicki Minaj, LMFAO and M.I.A. The New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in a thrilling rematch of the contest four years earlier. Her performance was seen by 114 million people, a higher average than the game itself, which was seen by an estimated 111.3 million people, according to the Nielsen Co.

If Beyonce’s performance at the Pepsi NFL Halftime Show features collaborations, it could likely include husband-rapper Jay-Z and her Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

New Orleans last hosted a Super Bowl in 2002, making next year’s game the first NFL championship in the city since Hurricane Katrina devastated parts of the Louisiana Superdome in 2005. Pepsi is returning as the sponsor for the halftime show since doing so in 2007 when Prince performed.

Foo Fighters react to Prince cover | News | NME.COM

Foo Fighters have reacted to Prince’s cover of ’Best Of You’ at the Superbowl XL halftime show on Sunday (February 4).

The Foo Fighters have covered the Prince song ’Darling Nikki’ and the Prince-penned ’Drive Me Wild’ as B-sides.

Drummer Taylor Hawkins said: “Dude, I have no idea why he did it, but I’d love to find out. I mean, the thought went through my head that maybe he was doing it as a sort of ‘fukk you’ to us, or maybe he really likes the song.

“Either way, it was pretty amazing to have a guy like Prince covering one of our songs - and actually doing it better than we did.”

Speaking about Prince’s reaction to the Foo Fighters cover ’Darling Nikki’ he said: “We wanted to put it out here in the States, but Prince wouldn’t let us. I heard that he didn’t like our version. Or maybe he didn’t like us doing it.”

“Dave (Grohl loved ‘Darling Nikki’ because it was really funky. And so we just recorded our version in my garage, and somehow it ended up getting played on the radio - which was weird, because we just did it as a sort of joke.”
