Usher announced at the last minute that he was postponing his tour, just hours before he was scheduled to take the stage in Atlanta on Wednesday.
The 45-year-old singer took his Instagram to post a heartfelt message about canceling the first show of 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.
“In my career spanning over 30 years, I have put 100% of my blood, sweat and tears into delivering the best performance and creating an unforgettable experience for my fans,” he began.
“I plan to do the same for this tour. Therefore, I have to postpone tonight’s show and reschedule it for a later date so my body can rest and recover.”
He continued: You’ll still get a little bit of the past, a little bit of the present and a unique glimpse into the future on the new date, but you’ll also get to see 100% of me.
“The last thing I want to do is disappoint you, the fans who have been eagerly awaiting the start of this tour. But I wouldn’t be the entertainer I am if I couldn’t physically give you the best of myself.”

His next two performances are also scheduled at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Friday and Saturday, but it is still uncertain whether those performances will go ahead as planned.
