what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.But apparently that doesn’t apply to Usher’s sold-out “My Way” residency, which led to him scoring the biggest gig in music — the headlining spot at the Super Bowl halftime show — at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas last Sunday.After his epic halftime show — featuring all-star support from special guests Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Lil Jon, H.E.R., will.i.am and Jermaine Dupri — Usher married longtime love Jennifer Goicoechea, and then said goodbye to Sin City, which had been their homebase since his residency started at the Dolby Live — Park MGM in 2022.But Usher is planning to bring the Vegas experience to his upcoming Past Present Future Tour, which kicks off Aug.
