Will.I.am

Will.I.am

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am still can't believe his group have been picked to perform at the 2011 Super Bowl after a long list of legends like Tom Petty, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen.

A big American football fan, the pop superstar has been present for the big game in recent years - and he has marvelled at the half-time performances. In February, he and his R&B act will join the list of fabled performers when the Black Eyed Peas hit the stage in Texas - and he's still pinching himself.

He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "They could have picked anybody, but they picked us... They could get Cheap Trick, but they chose us."
