Usher begins Past Present Future Tour in Washington D.C. after postponement due to neck injury


The eight-time Grammy winner, 45, had previously been slated to perform in Atlanta August 14, but missed a trio of concerts after he hurt his neck while preparing for the shows.

Usher began his tour titled Past Present Future this week with a pair of sold-out concerts Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington, D.C. at the Capital One Arena. 'My hope was that with physical therapy and medical treatment, I would be able to overcome the injury and be ready for opening night,' the Dallas native, whose full name is Usher Raymond IV, said in a social media statement August 15. It's been a busy year for the stalwart R&B star, who was the headline act for the halftime show of Super Bowl LVIII, in which he performed alongside along artists including Alicia Keys, will.i.am, Lil Jon, Jermaine Dupri, Ludacris and H.E.R.
