R&B star Usher delivered a hit-heavy half-time show at Sunday's Super Bowl - with help from will.i.am, Alicia Keys, Ludacris... and a pair of roller skates.
A disclaimer shown before the performance jokingly warned viewers it may cause "singing, dancing, sweating, gyrating, and possible relationship issues". It would go on to deliver on all fronts.

It kicked off a dynamic performance which took advantage of the 45-year-old's dancing skills and sizeable back catalogue.
Before his half-time show, Usher admitted it had been "a challenge to squeeze 30 years in to 13 minutes". But the singer did an admirable job of cramming in as many of his most recognisable songs as possible.

But it was a good show IMO.
