"I'm doing it for health, also personal conscience, also for my grandmother," says Usher about his fasting ritual.

Usher, the legendary R&B singer and performer, is on a mission to solidify his legacy with his "Past Present Future" tour. 

At 45, the artist continues to captivate audiences with his signature vocals, intricate choreography, and undeniable stage presence. 

In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY, Usher opens up about his rigorous workout routine, which includes band work, balance exercises, and light weights to maintain his agility for the demanding performances. 

He also reveals a special Wednesday fasting ritual, inspired by his late grandmother, that keeps him grounded and connected to his roots.

On stage, Usher's shows are a spectacle, blending high-octane choreography with cutting-edge AI visuals to create an immersive experience that spans his 30-year career.

The singer also shares how his children play a vital role in his life, both personally and professionally. 

From seeking advice on social media to spending quality time outdoors, Usher emphasizes the importance of family even while on tour.

As he prepares for his Super Bowl halftime show and reflects on his influences, including K-pop and '90s performances, Usher remains focused on pushing the boundaries of live entertainment. 

His tour is not just a celebration of his past achievements but a bold statement of what's to come.
