THE HAGUE (AP) — Dutch music producer DJ Tiësto has withdrawn from performing at Sunday's Super Bowl due to an undisclosed family matter.
“It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first,” the 55-year-old wrote on X.
The Grammy-winning musician was selected as the first ever in-game DJ, slotted to warm up the crowd before kickoff and throughout the game.
He previously performed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
American DJ Ryan Raddon, better known as Kaskade, will replace Tiësto during Sunday’s game.
