Robert Smith, lead singer of The Cure, expressed his discontent with the upcoming World Cup halftime show, curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin. He criticized FIFA president Gianni Infantino's description of the event as a 'groundbreaking spectacle' and used social media to voice his frustrations. The halftime show, featuring major artists, aims to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, but Smith's comments highlight concerns over the commercialization of football.
