At the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, Usher will perform

Usher has a brand-new confession to make: the Grammy winner will perform as the headlining act at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in Las Vegas, making it his second appearance at the midgame extravaganza.

Usher revealed his involvement in the halftime show at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday in a social media post with Kim Kardashian. The NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation made the announcement on Sunday.

Usher, an eight-time Grammy Award winner, previously performed as a guest at the Black Eyed Peas' Super Bowl XLV halftime show in 2011. He expressed excitement about taking the stage at the NFL's greatest game.

Usher stated in a statement, "It's an honor of a lifetime to finally cross a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. "I am eager to provide the world with a performance unlike anything they have ever seen from me. Thank you to the supporters and everyone who helped make this opportunity possible. I'll see you shortly.

He will join the likes of Beyoncé, Madonna, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Coldplay, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, U2, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, and Katy Perry on the list of featured performers who have performed at Super Bowl halftime performances.

With "Confessions," Usher became an overnight sensation. The song sold more than 10 million copies in the US and garnered eight Grammy nominations in 2005, of which he took home three. His final album, "Genius Loves Company," which was released two months after the great passed away, won album of the year instead of him.

With Ludacris and Lil Jon, "Yeah!" is one of the best-selling music albums of all time. "Confessions" also gave birth to the No. 1 songs "Burn" and "Confessions Part II." His special edition album contained the Alicia Keys and smooth smash "My Boo," a duet. The record will celebrate its 20th birthday the following year.

The 44-year-old Usher is presently the star of his "Usher: My Way" residency in Las Vegas, which has garnered raving reviews and sold-out performances. He is anticipated to complete his residency in the first week of December before performing at the Super Bowl halftime show a few months later.

The singer has coached contestants on NBC's "The Voice" and starred in a number of movies, including "Hustlers" and "Light It Up."

Jay-Z, the man of Roc Nation, referred to Usher as the ultimate "artist and showman."

Jay-Z said of Usher, who released his debut self-titled album in 1994, "Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul. He's been charting his own unique course ever since his debut at the age of 15." He has arrived at one of the biggest platforms in the world thanks to his incredible trip. I am eager to witness the magic.

The halftime show's co-executive producers will be Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins. Director Hamish Hamilton is back. It's the second time the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation have worked together.

Last year, for the first time in seven years, pregnant Rihanna performed a dazzling halftime concert while suspended above the field.
