"It's a great honor to do this," said McCartney. "People may have concerns of another wardrobe malfunction, but I can safely tell you that I won't.

McCartney won't give specifics about what he plans to do, but the halftime show this year isn't being hyped as the "big surprise" that MTV promised last year.  "I'm not going to say what we're doing because you know that spoils it. We will pretty much get up there and just use the time allotted to rock."
