Elton John has advised Madonna to lip-synch her upcoming Super Bowl performance.
The 'Rocket Man' singer suggested during an interview with Good Morning America that Madonna mime during her halftime show because he had "never seen a decent one".
Asked what advice he would give the 53-year-old for the gig, he quipped: "Make sure you lip-synch good."
"I've never seen a decent one. Never ever," he added of the coveted performance slot.
John continued: "You have to play live, but I don't think you can. In all fairness to everyone who's done one before, you may be able to sing live, but it's really hard to play live."
Madonna is rumoured to be performing four songs at the Super Bowl halftime show on February 5, including 'Vogue' and her new single 'Give Me All Your Luvin'. It has also been suggested that LMFAO and Cee Lo Green will also join her on stage.
It was recently reported that the star broke down in tears ahead of the gig, admitting: "I'm sorry if I cry. I'm just so exhausted from Super Bowl rehearsals."
