*Usher is making sure he is at his best when he performs at this year’s Super Bowl. According to Ace Showbiz, the “There Goes My Baby” crooner has given up “all sugar and alcohol” before his performance at the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The Feb. 11 performance, which will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, is a long time coming for Usher, who is determined to be in the best shape possible for the occasion.
“The Super Bowl has always been on Usher’s bucket list and he wants to be in the best shape to give the performance of his life to the 100 million-plus people watching. He has quit all sugar and alcohol and is rehearsing endlessly,” a source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper’s No Filter column.
Joining Usher for the halftime show will be his 14-year-old son Naviyd, who will serve as the 45-year-old entertainer’s “musical director for the show.
“The greatest list I received is actually from my son, Naviyd. He is my musical director. He has given me a curation of how much time in addition to the songs,” the “You Don’t Have to Call” vocalist said during an appearance on “Today With Hoda and Jenna.”
Usher’s upcoming performance is a major step up from where he was years ago as an added attraction during Black Eyed Peas’ Super Bowl Halftime show in 2011. In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Usher admitted his time as the Halftime show headliner was a long time coming after seeing his legendary predecessors on the Super Bowl stage giving their all to making a true moment with their respective performances.
“I think being able to see performances from artists like Michael [Jackson], you know, eventually Prince, and then even more modern-day artists… I was like, ‘Man, at some point I need to get a call with what’s going on now,’ ” he said.
“But I’m really happy that I’m joining that short list of legacy artists from my genre who deserve this moment. And I’m really happy that Jay-Z and also Roc Nation really put thought into making certain that they could bring to the world this kind of experience. It is definitely going to be a moment to remember.”
