In achieving the feat, Usher joined an excusive list of luminaries including the late Michael Jackson and Prince, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Madonna, Lady Gaga and Dr. Dre.
Usher was joined on the getaway by his wife Jennifer Goicoechea, who he tied the knot with in Las Vegas, following the banner performance.

‘When i was at the lowest point in my life i woke up and this man was sitting by my bed,’ Simmons said.
