R&B star, Usher, has been announced as the next headliner for the highly anticipated Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Following last year's show where Rihanna gave fans her first live performance after a seven year hiatus, as well as a pregnancy announcement - Usher has pretty big shoes to fill.

“It’s been on my bucket list for a long time,” Usher admits in a new interview with Zane Lowe. “I’ve been asked many a times, ‘What are the benchmarks or what are the things that matter most to you?’ Obviously performing, but being able to perform on that stage because so many amazing performers have graced it and did an amazing job. Of course the obsession of that starts, but man, the excitement of this moment and being able to savor this moment. You remember the first time you heard your record on the radio. This is like that for me.”

Apple Music have released a series of videos to social media of different celebrities announcing Usher's performance:
