DJ Tiesto won’t perform at Super Bowl due to ‘Personal Family Emergency’

One of the most famous performers on the planet won’t be available at the Super Bowl due to a family emergency. On Thursday evening, TMZ Sports reported that DJ Tiesto won’t perform at the Super Bowl, due to a ‘personal family emergency’.

“Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning,” Tiësto said on Twitter. “It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first.”

This would have been the first time the NFL had an in-game DJ for the Super Bowl…and Tiesto–who has sold more than 36 million albums–was honored to take on that role in the big game.
