Last night, the Black Eyed Peas performed at the Super Bowl halftime show. The veteran Hip Hop-turned-Pop group played catalog hits like “I Gotta Feeling,” “Boom Boom Pow” and “Where Is The Love,” in addition to covers of hits by Guns N’ Roses and Billy Medley & Jennifer Warnes. While the Peas had one of their biggest audiences to date, the Interscope Records act did not charge to perform.

In November of 2010, the Black Eyed Peas released their latest work, The Beginning.
