The
58th Super Bowl is scheduled to take place at Las Vegas'
Allegiant Stadium on Feb. 11, 2024.
"It's an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl
performance off my bucket list," Usher said in the statement. "I
can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else
they've seen from me before."
Since the release of his debut album in 1994, Usher Raymond IV
has sold over 80 million records worldwide, climbing atop music
charts and bringing home eight Grammy awards, considered by many
to be the most prestigious awards in the music industry.
Billboard magazine crowned him the second most successful artist
of the 2000s.
"U Got It Bad," "OMG," and "Yeah!" are among the 44-year-old
singer's chart-topping hits. Usher is currently performing in
Las Vegas as part of his residency show "Usher: My Way."
"Usher is an icon whose music has left an indelible mark on the
cultural landscape throughout his career," NFL Head of Music
Seth Dudowsky said in the news release announcing the decision.
Last year's Super Bowl Halftime Show, headlined by R&B star
Rihanna, was the most-watched halftime performance of all time,
organizers said.
Iconic artists including the Rolling Stones, Beyonce, Stevie
Wonder, Prince and Bruce Springsteen have taken the Super Bowl
stage over the years.
