Usher Cancels Opening Night of Past Present Future Tour in Atlanta
- Usher cancels his Atlanta concert last minute.
- The concert was scheduled at the State Farm Arena.
- Usher cites the need to 'rest and heal' as the reason for cancelation.
In a surprising turn of events, Usher has announced the cancellation of the opening show for his highly anticipated Past Present Future tour, just hours before he was set to perform at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The 45-year-old singer-songwriter took to social media to inform fans of the postponement, emphasizing the importance of his health and well-being in delivering the best possible performance. In his statement, Usher expressed his dedication to his craft, stating, “For my 30-plus year career, 100% of my blood, sweat and tears has gone into putting on the best performance.” He reassured fans that the show would be rescheduled, promising a unique experience that would encompass elements of his past, present, and future. “The last thing I want to ever do is disappoint you,” he added, highlighting his commitment to providing a memorable experience. The cancellation comes on the heels of Usher's successful Super Bowl Halftime performance earlier this year. Initially, he was set to kick off the North American leg of his tour in Washington, DC, on August 20, but added three Atlanta dates, starting with tonight's show. As of now, it remains unclear whether Usher will proceed with his scheduled performances on August 16 and 17 in Atlanta. The tour is expected to continue across North America, with stops planned in major cities including Baltimore, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Houston, concluding on November 30. Fans are eagerly awaiting further updates from Usher’s team regarding the rescheduling of the Atlanta show.
