Usher & Chris Brown Cancel 2 More R&B Tour Shows

Usher and Chris Brown have canceled another pair of shows on their extended R&B Tour. As of Wednesday (Nov. 11), Ticketmaster displayed cancelation notices for Nov. 16 in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium and the Dec. 6 date at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. No reason has been provided for the scrapping of the concerts, and neither musician has made a statement as of press time.

Billboard has reached out to reps for Chris Brown, Usher and Live Nation.

The R&B Tour is currently wrapping up a mini-residency in Atlanta with a fifth and final ATL show on tap for Wednesday night.

There are nine more dates until the Dec. 12 finish line for Usher and CB, while the total number of canceled shows has risen to six on the trek, although all have come from added dates extending the tour in August.

In October, the R&B Tour canceled shows in Baltimore, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Columbia, S.C., to “prioritize the health and well-being of the touring party and crew,” according to a statement provided by tour organizers, per Complex.

It should also be noted that Brown was due back in court on Oct. 26 for a 2023 nightclub assault in London, where he received a suspended jail sentence and no additional jail time. The singer had pleaded guilty to a charge of affray in July.

Following a brief hiatus for the tour, Usher and Chris Brown had a bumpy return to the stage to kick off their five-show run in Atlanta on Nov. 5. Per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the concert started well over two hours late, and the co-headliners never touched the stage to perform together. The three shows since in Atlanta have been smoother sailing, with surprise guest appearances ranging from Jeezy to Bow Wow and Sexyy Red.

The R&B Tour was the highest grossing and bestselling trek of September. Per Billboard Boxscore, the co-headlining run grossed $77.4 million and sold 423,000 tickets across 10 shows in the month.
