LAS VEGAS — Usher kicked off his first Super Bowl as a halftime headliner on Sunday night at Super Bowl LVIII, adding several surprise guests to create an all-star cast.

By Mike Rose:

 

The eight time Grammy Award winner put on a show for the ages when he performed at the Super Bowl LVlll halftime show, somehow he was able to fit three-decades worth of hits into a 13-minute show.

Usher opened the show with his 2004 hit, "Caught Up."

He got help from superstar singer Alicia Keys, also from H.E.R, Ludacris, Lil John and will.i.am.

Keys had the crowd on their feet with her song "If I Aint Got You" while standing at a large piano. She also joined Usher for their 2004 hit, "My Boo."

Lil John joinded, starting with "Turn Down For What" before Usher's biggest hit, "Yeah."

"I would be a fool not to play 'Yeah!'" Usher told Entertainment Tonight during Super Bowl week. "It would be foolish to make it all the way to Vegas, Jon is here Luda's here and not play 'Yeah!'"

The singer's performance in Las Vegas came two days after the release of his ninth studio album "Coming Home," Entertainment weekly reported.

The singer is no stranger to Las Vegas. From July 2022 until December 2023, Usher's "My Way" residency sold out 100 shows at the Dolby Live indoor amphitheater inside Park MGM Hotel and Casino, KSNV-TV reported.

Usher will go back on tour this summer, for His Past Present Future tour starting Aug.20.
