Usher and Babyface will be honored at The Apollo‘s 90th anniversary Spring Benefit, to be held in Harlem in Upper Manhattan on June 11.

Babyface, one of the most celebrated creative forces in music history, will be honored with the inaugural Legacy Award and inducted into The Apollo Walk of Fame.

Multi-platinum, global superstar Usher will be honored with the Icon Award.

The evening tops off with special appearances by Big Daddy Kane and musical direction by Adam Blackstone. The Apollo Theater said more details about the event will be announced later.
