Usher postpones shows on Past, Present, Future tour due to neck injury

Usher initially postponed his first show, telling fans on Wednesday that he needed to “give my body a second to rest and heal,” though he did not reveal his injury at the time.

“For my 30+ year career, 100% of my blood, sweat and tears have gone into delivering the best performance and creating a memorable experience for my fans,” the singer wrote in a now-deleted post by then. “I have every intention of doing that for this tour as well, which is why I have to postpone tonight’s show.”

He continued at the time: “You’ll still get a bit of the past, a bit of the present and a unique glimpse into the future on the rescheduled date, but you’ll also get 100% of me. The last thing I want to do is disappoint you, the fans who have been eagerly waiting for this tour to begin. However, I wouldn’t be the entertainer that I am if I couldn’t physically give you my best. My team will share news about the rescheduled date soon. I look forward to celebrating this legacy with you.”

It’s been a busy few years for Usher, who headlined the 2024 Super Bowl earlier this year and wraps up his 100-show My Way Las Vegas residency in December 2023. His Past Present Future tour, which includes stops in North America and Europe, is scheduled to run until May 2025.
