Usher resumed his ‘Past Present Future Tour’ this week, starting in Washington, D.C. after postponing earlier shows due to a neck injury.
The 45-year-old pop star was forced to cancel initial performances in Atlanta, Georgia after injuring himself in rehearsals, but he has now recovered and put on a two-hour show featuring his popular hits.
Following the successful comeback, Usher is set to continue the tour with upcoming performances in Baltimore, Maryland before heading to Europe in March for an eight-night residency.
After calling off the first few shows of the tour, Usher released a statement explaining he’d been told by doctors not to perform.
He wrote: ” Earlier this week, I suffered an injury to my neck while rehearsing to provide my fans with the greatest Usher show of all time.
“My hope was that with physical therapy and medical treatment, I would be able to overcome the injury and be ready for opening night. Unfortunately, the injury has not healed yet, and my doctors have instructed me not to perform any shows this week.
“The good news is that the doctors are saying that with appropriate rest and treatment, I should be ready to commence the tour in Washington DC on August 20th.
“I love my fans and thank you for understanding that this injury must be healed so that I can give you the 100 per cent excellence that you expect from an Usher show and that I will be on stage in your city very soon.”
