Despite the hype, the NFL is assuaging fears, saying that most of the players have been vaccinated. Meanwhile, a local reporter tells ET's Kevin Frazier that most of the cases of measles in Arizona are isolated in the East Valley about 50 miles away from the University of Phoenix Stadium, where the Super Bowl will be played.
Halftime performer Lenny Kravitz wasn't concerned at all when Kevin met up with him in Phoenix.
"I haven't heard a thing about it," the rock star said.
Lenny, who will be joining Katy Perry on the Super Bowl stage, just released a studio album called Strut and is launching the second leg of his world tour in March. He had nothing but good things to say about the pop star.
