Multiple Grammy Award winner Usher says he's honoured to check this off his bucket list.
The 44-year-old R&B star has been announced as the headliner for the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show.
On Sunday, the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced that Usher will headline the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024.

In a statement, Usher said, "It's an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they've seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I'll see you real soon."
He has some experience on the halftime show stage. In 2011, he performed alongside the Black Eyed Peas when they were headlining.
The star won't have to travel far either. He's currently headlining his successful Usher: My Way residency in Las Vegas, which wraps up in December.
