The singer's performance will be accompanied by Cirque de Soleil and Jamie King, the National Football League and NBC television said late Sunday.

The Super Bowl halftime show, which is usually broadcast worldwide, is the most-watched musical event of the year. More than 162 million viewers in the United States viewed last year's show.

Madonna is currently working on a new album scheduled to be released next year.
