Usher is ready to celebrate when he takes the stage at the 2024 Super Bowl.
The “Yeah!” hitmaker was announced as the upcoming Halftime Show performer over the weekend, before speaking out about doing the honours on Monday’s “CBS Mornings”.
“This is a moment that I’ve waited my entire life for and I am not coming to disappoint. This is going to be a celebration.”
Usher — who kept the performance a secret for days before the announcement — shared, “30 years ago I made a commitment to offer my best.
“And here 30 years later now, it’s being rewarded with one of the most prestigious performances and stages anybody could ever play on.”
The musician gushed, “This is a moment that I’ve waited my entire life for and I am not coming to disappoint. This is going to be a celebration.”

The singer said of his kids thinking he has what it takes to take to the stage, “My kids were like, ‘Dad, you should play the Super Bowl.’ I’m telling you. There’s a petition online, and I’m like, ‘You know what, you gotta speak these things into existence.’”
