Andra Day Will Perform The Black National Anthem, 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' At Super Bowl LVIII

 

Spirits were lifted when we learned that a brotha would be rocking the stage at the Super Bowl. And now we've gotten word that a sista is going to bring down the house. 

Last week, news dropped that Grammy-winning singer Andra Day would be performing the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," during the game's pre-show, as reported by the NFL. Game day will be an evening of Black Excellence as the song will be produced and arranged by Grammy and Emmy-winning musical director and producer Adam Blackstone.

"It's an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they've seen from me before," Usher told the NFL. "Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I'll see you real soon."

In December, the R&B crooner wrapped up his Las Vegas Residency that garnered sold-out shows, 374,000 tickets, and upwards of 83 million dollars in ticket sales over the past two years. It is reported that the “Boyfriend” singer is planning a global tour after his much anticipated Super Bowl performance.

Super Bowl LVIII will be played on Sunday (Feb. 11),  with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
