Usher has postponed his tour at the last minute to give his body “a second” to “rest and heal”.
The singer – born Usher Raymond IV – who is renowned for his gruelling fitness regime ahead of gigs, has left fans infuriated when he announced the postponement of his ‘Past, Present, and Future’ tour on Wednesday (14.08.24) – hours before he was set to take the stage on its opening night in Atlanta.
He told his followers in an online announcement he needed his “body a second to rest and heal”, adding: “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 decided to postpone tonight’s show and reschedule it for a later date to give my body a second to rest and heal.”
Usher went on his announcement posted on Instagram Stories: “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.”
He concluded: “I can’t wait to celebrate this legacy with you.”
Fans hit out at the singer, with many saying they had already travelled to see him.
