Usher is all about “the fan experience” and “trying to figure out how to give them something that’s going to make them feel something.”
“I’m a dreamer, man,” the “Good Good” artist said.
Elsewhere, he shared a few hints for the highly anticipated show: Fans can expect one major costume change, roller skating, choreography and some exciting guest appearances.
Usher’s main goal, however, is for R&B to “take the main stage.”
“Not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit,” he said.
“I’ve been doing this for 30 years,” Usher added. “I want people who have been a part of that journey to feel like it’s a celebration for everybody, for all of us, from the beginning up until this point.”
