And that was really the idea.”

“It definitely has been a challenge to squeeze 30 years into 13 minutes,” he said, laughing. “[I thought about] what songs do I feel people know me for? What songs have been a celebration of all of the journey of what life and love and emotion has been offered in my music.”

The singer, 45, revealed to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday that he would be a ‘fool,’ to not perform his hit 2004 song “Yeah,” with the song’s featured artists Ludacris and Lil Jon being there in Las Vegas with hin.

“I would be a fool to not play ‘Yeah!’ let’s just start there,” Usher said. “It would be foolish to make it all the way to Las Vegas, Jon is here, Luda’s here and not play ‘Yeah!’ ” It was also said that Alicia Keys will hit the stage with the icon.
