Dutch music producer DJ Tiësto has announced his withdrawal from performing at this Sunday's Super Bowl due to an undisclosed family matter. Tiësto, whose real name is Tijs Verwest, revealed on Thursday via social media that he would be unable to attend the highly anticipated matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas.
In a heartfelt message, the 55-year-old music sensation stated, 'It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first.' Tiësto did not provide specific details about the emergency that necessitated his return home. Married to model Annika Backes since 2019, the couple has two children together.
