Coldplay, Katy Perry and Rihanna have reportedly been asked to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show next year.

The singing superstars have allegedly been approached by the NFL and have been asked for money before the event or a "contribution of their post-Super Bowl tour income", reported Billboard magazine.

If the artistes are not willing to do this, they have been asked to "contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income to the league".

Earlier this year, the 2014 Super Bowl was the most-watched television programme in history with a peak of 115.3 million viewers.

There were performances from Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who later admitted that their instruments weren't plugged in during their performance.
 

Meanwhile, previous acts to have played the show include Madonna, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson and The Rolling Stones.
