Usher Unveils Why He Had To Postpone His Early Tour Stops

by

USHER had fans in an uproar yesterday over his surprise postponement of the inaugural show for his Past Present Future tour. He did so just hours before he was supposed to hit the stage in Atlanta, Georgia. The R&B superstar sent a few painful paragraphs to explain the reason for this. “For my 30-plus year career, 100% of my blood, sweat and tears has gone into putting on the best performance and creating a memorable experience for my fans. I have every intention of doing that for this tour as well. Which is why I have to postpone tonight’s show and reschedule it for a later date to give my body a second to rest and heal”.

People were suspecting that he was referring to all of his previous gigs such as the Super Bowl, his Las Vegas, Nevada residency, and etc. This had some fans understanding where he was coming from, especially since they recognize how much work he puts into his shows. Still, though, others felt blindsided. But it seems we now have specifics. According to a report from Bossip, USHER released yet another statement in which he revealed that he suffered a neck injury of sorts. “Earlier this week, I suffered an injury to my neck while rehearsing to provide my fans with the greatest USHER show of all time”, he began.

USHER Moves Tour Dates Around Following Neck Injury Announcement

“My hope was that with physical therapy and medical treatment, I would be able to overcome the injury and be ready for opening night. Unfortunately, the injury has not healed yet, and my doctors have instructed me not to perform any shows this week”. Thankfully, though, if he stays the course on the proper recovery track, he can hit the stage in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, August 20. Furthermore, the first three shows in Atlanta that were going to kick off the tour are rescheduled. The August 14 show will now be December 9. August 16 is being pushed back to December 10. Then, the performance on the 17 is going to take place on December 12.

What are your thoughts on USHER revealing that a neck injury was the reason for postponing the early Atlanta tour dates? Do you think the fans that were bashing him should apologize? How do you feel about the timing for the rescheduled shows? Are you planning on going to one of the performances? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding USHER. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Usher recently shared the trailer for his Rendezvous In Paris concert film, which will enjoy a limited theatrical run from September 12 to 15. That exciting news was counterbalanced by an unfortunate update pertaining to Usher’s Past Present Future tour.

On Wednesday, August 14, Usher postponed his opening night. The tour was scheduled to open with three consecutive shows at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on August 14, 16, and 17.

How Long Is Usher’s Past Present Future Tour Delayed?

“For my 30-plus year career, 100% of my blood, sweat and tears has gone into putting on the best performance and creating a memorable experience for my fans,” Usher posted across his social media accounts. “I have every intention of doing that for this tour as well, which is why I have to postpone tonight’s show and reschedule it for a later date to give my body a second to rest and heal.”

He continued, “You’re still going to get a bit of the past, some of the present, and a unique look into the future on the rescheduled date, but you’ll also be getting 100% of me. The last thing I want to ever do is disappoint you, the fans who have been eagerly waiting for this tour to start. However, I wouldn’t be the entertainer that I am if I can’t physically give you my best. My team will be sharing news of the rescheduled date soon. I can’t wait to celebrate this legacy with you. Usher.”

As of this writing, it’s unclear whether Usher will go on as scheduled on Friday, August 16. Usher has not said otherwise, so it would seem like opening night will happen on Friday. The rescheduled August 14 date has not yet been announced.

An unnamed representative for Usher confirmed to Variety that Usher “needs time to heal from an unspecified injury.”

USHER Postpones Opening Night Of “Past Present Future Tour” With Heartfelt Message

by

USHER, even 30 years and change into his career, is still a performer that’s in high demand. The Super Bowl, his residence in Las Vegas, ESSENCE, and Paris around this time last year are just few stages he’s rocked over the last 12 months. Additionally, USHER is someone who wants to give his very best for any venue he plays at. So, it’s why he’s deciding to postpone the opening night of his Past Present Future tour. Unfortunately, the notice is very last minute, as the things were supposed to get underway tonight in one of the many places he calls home, Atlanta.

The enormous trek across the United States is for his most recent record, COMING HOME. If you remember, it was released hours after his halftime performance. Initially, the set of dates was going to start on the 20th in Washington, D.C. But he added a handful of extra stops just a few days after revealing the tour, according to Rated R&B. Unfortunately, it’s unclear when he will hit the road. But for now, USHER had a heartfelt message to share about the reason for this decision.

by

As we learned last week, Usher has a new concert film, Usher: Rendezvous In Paris, on the way. Now, we have our first look at it via a new trailer, which combines concert footage with clips of Usher dramatically looking over and walking through Paris.

Usher previously said in a statement, “Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans. I hope those who weren’t able to make it in person get to experience how special it was. As for those of you who were, I hope you experience the show and see what it takes to get there through a different lens.”

According to a press release, the movie “incorporates the essence of his landmark cultural phenomenon Vegas residencies into a seductive French touch confession” and features the songs “Yeah!,” “My Boo,” “Love In This Club,” and others “performed with never-before-seen costumes and state-of-the-art lighting and special effects.” The movie also promises to give “audiences a glimpse inside life beyond the stage — creating a global moment that moviegoers won’t want to miss.”

The film is set for a limited run from September 12 to 15, playing in 2,000 theaters worldwide. Screening details and ticketing information is available on the movie’s website.

4batz and Usher Team Up for “act iv: fckin u again (18+)” Remix

4batz and Usher Team Up for "act iv: fckin u again (18+)" Remix

Rising star 4batz has just unveiled the remix of his hit track “act iv: fckin u again (18+),” featuring legendary R&B icon Usher. The original song, from 4batz’s debut mixtape u made me a st4r, released this past spring, skyrocketed to number 1 on Apple Music’s Top US Albums within 24 hours.

“act iv: fckin u again (18+)” is a smooth, sensual track that showcases 4batz’s distinct vocal style. The remix seamlessly transitions to Usher’s iconic voice, adding a timeless touch that complements the song perfectly. The track concludes with a brand new minute-long verse from 4batz, blending his modern sound with Usher’s classic R&B vibe.

This collaboration delivers a magnetic mix of contemporary and classic elements, creating an unforgettable listening experience. The remix is now available on all streaming platforms.

4batz’s Profile Grows Larger, Lands USHER Feature For “Act IV: Fckin U Again (18+)”

by

4batz’s career is still very fresh, but his current reputation is not that great it seems. Ever since “act ii: date @ 8” blew up, fans and critics alike have been harshly critiquing the Dallas, Texas native at every turn. The industry plant and one-hit wonder are labels that continue to be ways to describe his stature in the industry. Additionally, music reviewers were not fond of u made me a st4r, to say the least. Whether the backlash is fair or not, it certainly has not phased the R&B young buck. His resilient mindset has allowed him to work with some of the biggest stars on the planet. Drake and Kanye West had the first two cracks at it, as they assisted on renditions of two tracks from the debut. Now, USHER is getting in on the remix game with 4batz for “act iv”.

Overall, this new version is quite a departure from the original “act iv: fckin u (18+)”. 4batz recorded an entirely new verse that is also much longer. It certainly gives the song more of a backbone, and with the record having an extra minute’s worth of material, the instrumental is also more drawn out. USHER does a pretty solid job of getting into the groove, as he does find a pocket pretty early on. 4batz’s boy-ish vocals do still take time adjusting to, but “fckin u again” is arguably the best remix out of the three.
