10 sexy photos of Usher over the years
When you think that of Usher, you immediately remember his timeless R&B songs, amazing dancing skills and rock-hard abs. Usher has been dominating the music industry since the early ’90s, and he has no plans to stop anytime soon, coming off a sold-out Las Vegas show and a legendary Super Bowl halftime performance. As he prepares his May/June cover, he recently sat down with our Senior Lifestyle Editor, Victoria Uwumarogie, to debate his decades-long profession and his enviable figure and nutrition during his coveted workouts. “I have a habit of waking up every morning at six or seven, no matter where I am,” he tells Uwumarogie. “I actually have a couple of places I am going to that reserve the back corner for me where nobody notices. Usually it’s pretty dark in rooms like this, so you’ll be able to’t really see who’s there until they activate the light and other people realize, “Oh wait, is that who I think it is?”
Many wonder how he copes as a seasoned artist. The answer is easy: he loves his fans and feels incredibly connected to them. “I think I feel a connection with the audience and the people that is based on my service to them,” he said. “I want to make sure they know I am committed to serving this art. I want you to feel satisfied for the time you choose to share with me.”
One thing is definite: Usher prides himself on being an achieved performer, father, partner and, yes, sex symbol. See the hottest photos of the superstar.
