Who might Usher bring onstage during his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show?

We are finding that out just two days away from the game.

 

He officially confirmed there will be special guests joining him onstage during his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.

Usher is in talks with his former mentee Justin Bieber to make a surprise appearance at Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show. Reports indicate that Lil Jon and Ludacris will join him as well. Not to mention, Alicia Keys might potentially perform alongside him.

TMZ reports that Usher has been in “direct talks” with Bieber about performing at the Super Bowl. According to their sources, the R&B singer who mentored the Canadian pop sensation called the “Yummy” singer directly to invite him to share the Super Bowl stage.

 

Usher and Bieber have been close for years. Fans could hear “First Dance” “Peaches” or “Somebody to Love” during the Big Game this Sunday.

Usher has been teasing a variety of mystery surprise guests and recently told People he wanted Lil Jon and Ludacris onstage with him for his hit track Yeah!

He said: ‘I would be a fool to not play Yeah! let’s just start there. It would be foolish to make it all the way to Las Vegas, Jon is here, Luda’s here, and not play ‘Yeah!’

Usher is the big star of the Super Bowl LVIII halftime performance at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday when the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Musicians often treat their Super Bowl halftime show as basically a 13 to 15-minute course in their discography, filling the set list with tracks that span the arc of their career.
