Usher, the multi-talented artist known for his singing, songwriting, acting, dancing, and business ventures, has been announced as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. With a career spanning decades and numerous accolades, Usher promises to deliver a show unlike anything his fans have seen before.
Usher's talent has earned him 34 ASCAP Awards, nine Soul Train Music Awards, and eight American Music Awards. He has collaborated with notable artists such as Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Gucci Mane, Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Ludacris, Pitbull, and P. Diddy. Given the vibrant atmosphere of Las Vegas and the magnitude of the Super Bowl, it wouldn't be surprising if some of these artists made a special appearance during Usher's halftime show.
Beyond his music career, Usher has ventured into acting, appearing in films such as "Hustlers," "Muppets Most Wanted," and "She's All That." He has also made notable television appearances on shows like "The Twilight Zone," "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," "American Idol," "X Factor," "The Voice," and even "Sesame Street."
Usher's philanthropic efforts are also worth mentioning. He has raised millions of dollars for various charitable causes and established a nonprofit organization called Usher's New Look in 1999. The organization aims to improve the lives of underprivileged children.
Upon hearing the news of Usher's Super Bowl performance, the singer expressed his gratitude and excitement. He described it as an "honor of a lifetime" and promised to deliver a show unlike anything his fans have seen before.
Seth Dudowsky, the NFL head of music, referred to Usher as an "icon" whose music has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape. The halftime show, known for being the most-watched musical performance of the year, will be produced by DPS, with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins serving as executive producers. The director for the show will be Hamish Hamilton.
In addition to Usher's performance, actor and choreographer Shaheem Sanchez will deliver an American Sign Language (ASL) rendition of the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The Super Bowl, taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. This year, for the first time in NFL history, the game will be available in two different formats: the traditional CBS broadcast and a family-friendly broadcast on Nickelodeon. This allows viewers to choose the viewing experience that best suits their preferences.
With Usher at the helm of the halftime show, fans can anticipate a spectacular performance that showcases his immense talent and electrifying stage presence. It's a Super Bowl moment that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on viewers worldwide.
