I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else - Usher

I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else - Usher

Usher is headlining the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in Las Vegas today — but he's not the only performer football fans will get to see singing as part of festivities surrounding the 2024 big game.

Usher says it's an honour of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off his bucket list.

He says he can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they've seen from him before.

In an interview on CBS "Sunday Morning," he said it's a moment he's dreamed of for most of his professional life.

The eight-time Grammy winner has been a hot ticket in Las Vegas for the past year with a residency that surpassed all expectations, and he says the greats who've come before him are always on his mind.

Usher previously appeared at the Super Bowl as a guest during the Black Eyed Peas' halftime show in 2011.

Full list of Super Bowl performers announced for 2024

Usher - The singer will headline the halftime show. The NFL has not yet said if any other artists will join Usher on stage.

Reba McEntire - The country music icon will sing the national anthem during her first-ever Super Bowl performance.

Daniel Durant - The actor will sign the national anthem in an American Sign Language performance.

Post Malone - The rapper will sing "America the Beautiful."

Anjel Piñero - The actress, model and dancer will sign "America the Beautiful" in an American Sign Language performance.

Andra Day - The singer will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

Shaheem Sanchez - The actor and choreographer will sign Lift Every Voice and Sing in an American Sign Language performance. Later, Sanchez will perform a sign language rendition of the halftime performance.

Tiësto was slated to DJ a player warm-up and during featured breaks within the Super Bowl, but the Associated Press reported on Friday that he has withdrawn due to an undisclosed family matter.
