Bruce Springsteen shed light on why after years of turning the NFL’s Super Bowl requests down flat, he broke tradition and performed with the E Street Band during the halftime spectacle.

He explained to The Los Angeles Times, "I’ve said no for about 10 years or however long they’ve been asking, but, I tell you, we played on the last tour and there were some empty seats here and there and, well, there shouldn’t be any empty seats at an E Street Band show. I hold pride that we remain one of the great wonders of the world… so sometimes you got to remind people a little bit."
