R&B icon Usher had to postpone the first three nights of his Past Present Future tour in Atlanta due to an injury.
The “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” singer revealed the news just hours before he was set to hit the stage on Wednesday, noting that “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,” he wrote at the time.
On Thursday night, he took to Instagram to share that the three postponed dates at State Farm Arena this week have been rescheduled to December. The August 14 show will now take place December 9, while the August 16 show has been rescheduled to December 10, and the August 17 gig has been moved to December 12. He also shed more light on the injury, explaining that he suffered a neck injury while rehearsing.
“My hope was that physical therapy and treatment, I would be able to overcome the injury and be ready for opening night,” Usher shared. “Unfortunately, the injury has not healed yet, and my doctors have instructed me not to perform any shows this week.”
He noted that his doctors said “with appropriate rest and treatment,” he should be able to take the stage again for his next show on August 20 in Washington, D.C.
“I love my fans and thank you for understanding that this injury must be healed so that I can give you the 100% excellence that you expect from an USHER show and that I will be on stage in your city very soon,” he concluded.
