Usher revealed that once he got a taste of the Super Bowl halftime show, he wanted more.
During the press conference for the Super Bowl halftime show, Usher noted that he had a major mishap when he performed a mini-show during a 2011 show with the Black Eyed Peas.
“I got my hand caught in the wire that was holding me 30 feet in the air, and I almost missed my first mark. And I said, 'Oh my God, don't let this glitch make me miss something.' He told the audience.
Fortunately, he managed to avoid disaster and managed to descend from the stadium rafters to perform “Oh My God” with the group, and even jumped over Will.i.am and landed in the splits.

“It was amazing to be in front of that many people and feel the energy,” Asher recalls. “It made me really passionate about finally having that moment that I'm preparing for. But it was really driven by being able to be in that moment with the Black Eyed Peas.”
