The delay has now been extended as Usher announced on Instagram that he is also postponing two additional performances due to a neck injury.
In a heartfelt statement, Usher, 45, revealed that he suffered a neck injury while rehearsing for the tour. Despite his efforts to recover in time for the Atlanta show, including physical therapy and medical treatment, the injury has not healed as expected. “Earlier this week, I suffered an injury to my neck while rehearsing to provide my fans with the greatest USHER show of all time,” Usher shared.

The postponed shows in Atlanta at the State Farm Arena have been rescheduled to December 9, 10, and 12. Usher is expected to return to performing on August 20 in Washington, D.C., where he hopes to resume his tour as planned.
