Maroon 5 singer 'would like to move on' from Super Bowl controversy

The band has been criticised after several top artists including Cardi B and Rihanna were reported to have turned down the show - seen as one of the biggest gigs in the US music calendar - in solidarity with NFL players who have knelt in protest during the national anthem and in particular - blacklisted player Colin Kapaernick.

“I’m not in the right profession if I can’t handle a little bit of controversy,"" he told ET.

"It’s what it is. We expected it. We’d like to move on from it.”
