In a separate statement, Seth Dudowsky, the head of music for the NFL, added: “Usher is an icon whose music has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape throughout his career, we couldn’t be more excited to have him headline this year’s Apple Music Super Bowl Half Time Show.
“We look forward to working with Usher, Roc Nation and Apple Music to bring fans another Halftime Show for the history books.”
Roc Nation founder Jay-Z called Usher “the ultimate artist and showman”.
He added: “Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he’s been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul. His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can’t wait to see the magic.”
On the same day Usher will also release his new album ‘Coming Home’.
Usher’s forthcoming performance follows Rihanna‘s Super Bowl Half Time Show in 2023, which saw her perform a career spanning set.
Previously Dr. Dre headlined 2022’s event with special guest performers Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige.
