foxnews.comUsher revealed that once he had a taste of the Super Bowl halftime show, he wanted more. During a Super Bowl halftime show press conference, Usher recalled that he experienced a major mishap when he made a cameo during the 2011 show with the Black Eyed Peas. "My hand got caught in the wire that was holding me like 30 feet in the air, and I almost missed my first mark.

After that, the singer realized he wanted to experience being a Super Bowl halftime headliner. "How amazing it felt to be in front of that many people and feel the energy," Usher recalled. "So much so that it made me really passionate about eventually getting this moment that I’m getting ready to have.
