Usher kicked off his tour, Past Present Future, this week with two sold-out shows in Washington, D.C. at the Capital One Arena.
The 45-year-old, eight-time Grammy winner, had to skip three Atlanta concerts on August 14 due to neck injury he sustained during rehearsals prior to the events.
Usher, born Usher Raymond IV, expressed his optimism on X (formerly Twitter) in a statement on August 15 that said, : “I hoped that through therapy and treatment, I could recover from the injury and be prepared for the tour’s debut night”.
