Madonna: ‘I wanted Adele to perform at the Super Bowl with me’!
Madonna has revealed that she originally wanted Adele to feature in her Super Bowl performance earlier this year.
The singer said she approached the UK star to join her on stage at the Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis back in February, but Adele had to decline due to her voice recovery.
Asked if she would like to work with Adele, Madonna told ITV1′s Daybreak: “Yes, I would love to. I would love to meet her, I think she’s brilliant, I love her.”
She added: “I wanted her to be in the Super Bowl with me, but I think she was having her throat problem or throat operation or something.”
Madonna was eventually joined by LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, MIA and Cee Lo Green for renditions of ‘Vogue’, ‘Give Me All Your Luvin” and ‘Like A Prayer’ among others.
Madonna will embark on her new world tour in support of latest album MDNA in May and has told fans to expect “amazing music and incredible dancing”.

Madonna On Being A Single Mom: "I'm Not As Tough As I Should Be"!
She's an international entertainment superstar for 30 years, but Madonna has another super role in her life:
She's a mom of four.
And as she told "Rock Center's" Harry Smith in an exclusive interview, glimpsing a photo of her 15-year-old daughter, Lourdes, puffing away on a cigarette recently was not a happy mom moment.
"I wasn't very happy", she said, admitting she's a tough parent, "but honestly, I don't think I'm as tough as I should be. I think I need to be maybe tougher. It's hard - every day is a negotiation. But cigarette smoking I'm not very fond of - for anyone."
Sure, Madonna smoked in a recent video, but when Smith pointed that out, she fired back with a small smile:
"I don't smoke. That's just an accessory, Harry. There's a difference. Lourdes smoked that cigarette before I did that video!"
Smith stopped by "TODAY" Wednesday to share select clips from his exclusive interview with Madonna, and showcased one where she spoke about, well, being Madonna.
"It must be hard, because I complain all the time", she said.
"It's pretty challenging. But so far I've survived with sanity and humor intact."
But her kids are seeing a different Madonna from the ones fans know.
She explained that they get the version "that comes home and says 'Have you done your homework?' and 'Why are you wearing that?' and 'Why did you say that?' and 'What are you eating that for?'."
Check out more of Harry Smith's chat with Madonna on "Rock Center with Brian Williams" tonight at 9 p.m. ET.

Punk star Patti Smith ‘inspired Madonna’!
Madonna has revealed an unlikely musical inspiration – punk poet Patti Smith.
The singer, who recently scored her 12th No 1 album with MDNA, has named Smith’s recording of Gloria as one of her key influences.
Despite her background in the New York dance scene as she began her career she went for the reworking of the track written by Van Morrison and originally recorded by his band Them in 1964.
Madonna has long been known for her references to religion throughout her work and she cited the line “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine”, which Smith added to the song, as her key inspiration.
She chose the lyric and song after being invited to give her choice as part of HMV’s “my inspiration” campaign – the 300th artist to do so.
The campaign began in 2006 when David Bowie selected a line from Syd Barrett’s song Gigolo Aunt. Sir Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and Lady Gaga are among the other names to have taken part.
The almost six-minute version of Gloria featured on Smith’s 1975 debut Horses.
HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: “We’ve been honoured to have some truly legendary artists take part in recent years, but we’re particularly proud and thrilled that Madonna has agreed to participate to celebrate our 300th landmark.
“Naturally we were really intrigued to learn her choice, but should have guessed that, in Patti Smith, she’d go for another artist who has rewritten the rules and, in Gloria, a song that makes a powerful statement.”
