About this listen
Usher has had quite the eventful week as we head into early December. The R&B legend kicked off the month dealing with a significant health setback that forced him to postpone the start of his highly anticipated Past Present Future Tour. According to multiple entertainment news outlets, Usher suffered a neck injury while rehearsing earlier this week and had to cancel the opening night show in Atlanta that was scheduled for Wednesday. His doctors instructed him not to perform any shows that week, forcing postponements of multiple dates. In a statement shared on Instagram, Usher explained he was hoping physical therapy and medical treatment would get him ready for opening night, but unfortunately the injury hadn't healed sufficiently.
Despite the tour complications, Usher continues to dominate the fashion conversation. Following his standout appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, fashion publications have been praising his refined approach to red carpet dressing. According to AOL's coverage, he arrived wearing a classic black three-piece suit paired with a bowtie, silver button closure chain, and glittering brooch, but it was his white scarf draped across his shoulders that sealed the look, capturing the traditional dandy aesthetic perfectly. His wife Jennifer Goicoechea complemented his elegance with a striking jumpsuit featuring a long black train and white blazer with an oversized rosette.
On the legal front, court documents reveal that Usher has filed a lawsuit in Fulton County against longtime music producer Bryan-Michael Cox, along with associates Keith Thomas and Charles Hughes. According to reports, the suit centers on a failed restaurant venture in Atlanta's Buckhead area, with Usher claiming he provided a loan for a restaurant that never opened. Cox, who has produced some of Usher's biggest hits including Burn and U Got It Bad, released a statement saying he's currently in the middle of a failed deal he didn't orchestrate and expressed confidence his name will be cleared, while also emphasizing his 27-year friendship with Usher remains fully intact.
Meanwhile, the music world continues to celebrate Usher's broader influence and catalog. His impact on contemporary R&B and pop remains undeniable as fans await updates on rescheduled tour dates once his neck heals.
