Aaron Spears tragically passed away in October 2023. He was a staple in Usher's band for many years (and we all remember his mind-blowing performance of "Caught Up" in the 2006 Modern Drummer Festival). 

Usher's performance in Super Bowl LVIII halftime show had a beautiful tribute to Aaron Spears.

That's right, Aaron's kit was on stage. A way of saying "Aaron is here too". Legends never die.

Aaron's music will live forever. And last Sunday, his kit was back where it belongs: on the biggest stage on earth.
