Usher’s Halftime Show Included a Tribute to His Late Drummer


Usher’s epic 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show included a subtle but heartfelt tribute to Aaron Spears, his longtime drummer who died in October 2023

In addition to the Spears tribute, Usher’s halftime show included appearances by Alicia Keys, Jermaine Dupri, H.E.R., will.i.am, Lil Jon and Ludacris. The show, expanded from 13 to 15 minutes, ran through Usher’s greatest hits, from “Love in this Club” to “Confessions Part II,” “Nice & Slow,” “Bad Girl” and “Yeah.” “I would hope that people would feel excited — whether they knew my music or they just got to meet me for the first time — and that I’m all passion, man,” Usher told Entertainment Weekly days before the performance.
