At 33 years old, Usher is no young buck, but soul and R&B performers often continue well into old age. If he keeps at it, he might wind up like Solomon Burke, who kept playing live and making records until his death at the age of 70, or Bobby Womack, who’s still going strong at 68. Another of his influences, Michael Jackson, was still in touring shape at the time of his death at 50—re-watch This Is It if you don’t believe us—and R. Kelly, perhaps the only modern R&B singer that can match Usher’s sensual delivery, is 45. So the future seems bright for Usher, who’s sold 65 million records around the world and topped the Billboard Hot 100 nine times. His most recent album, Looking 4 Myself, topped the charts in 2012, spawning the no. 9 hit “Scream.”
