Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine has responded to critics who urged the band to show solidarity with Colin Kaepernick by not to performing at Super Bowl LIII, with the singer hinting that the halftime show will include a social message.
'I'm not in the right profession if I can't handle a little bit of controversy. It is what it is, we expected it,' Levine said in an interview on Thursday with Entertainment Tonight, three days ahead of the big game in Atlanta.
'We'd like to move on with it, and like I said earlier, speak though the music,' Levine said of the band's plans for Sunday's championship game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams.
Maroon 5 came under scrutiny when a petition signed by more than 113,000 fans demanded that they withdraw from performing at the Super Bowl to support Kaepernick and other players who kneel during the national anthem.

I used to watch the super bowl just to watch half time. Not this year. This year I will be using the restroom during half time.
Giving in to the commie SJWs. Well Im certainly going to do my part to make sure its a ratings disaster by not watching.
The band can do whatever they want ON the stage. The NFL had better make sure it NEVER goes out over their broadcast.
Those watching the superbowl deserve this insult.
You hang out in the gutter and you become trash.
I will not be watching.
JoMa
Good grief! WHO really watches the Super Bowl half time show!!!!????
Maroon 5? No thanks.
They could use half time to honor those killed by illegal aliens.
But they won’t so I won’t be watching and haven’t watched the Stupor bowl in years. Screw em.
Adam Levine is in a band?
I just buy his nice hoodies at KMart.
Had no idea he had any other use.
Among the many lines along which this country is divided, few are as clear as that between those fed by TV and those who think for themselves. To the mindless “non-player characters”, these displays set the tone for their whole belief systems; they’ll mindlessly parrot whatever they’re told.
113,000 fans = 100 fans and 112,900 Soros funded bots.
Moron 5 gonna make the people love da MFL again. LOL.
What a maroon!
Yawn. They’ll play a bar from the SSB and kneel while doing so.
Better yet, don’t watch at all.
Who? What Bowl? ( toilet?).
NFL is dead to me. Waiting for Vince McMann to reform the XFL
Supporting only Krapperdink discriminates against all QB’s with losing records. How does it feel to be racist lefties?
What a maroon.
I must’ve missed Menudo’s protest song.
