Usher announced a last-minute postponement of his tour just hours before he was scheduled to take the stage in Atlanta on Wednesday.
The 45-year-old singer took to his Instagram to post a heartfelt message about pulling the plug on the first show for his Past Present Future tour.
He wrote that he needs to ‘give my body time to rest and heal,’ without revealing the specific nature of his ailment.
‘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,’ he began.
‘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, Y’ou’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.’
