Usher may be teasing a world tour. Just as his Las Vegas residency continues to sell out, the “Superstar” crooner has added new dates to his Paris residency. In addition to his four shows in late September, Ush will now perform for four dates in early October. The announcement follows the news that he has also been added to 2023 Roots Picnic line-up.

Craig David Reflects On 2002 'VIBE' Cover And Planned "Reunion" With Usher For Lovers & Friends

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Usher (@usher)

Usher’s co-headlining set at The Roots Picnic replaces Diddy , who had to back out due to unforeseen circumstances. Marking his return to the Philly festival in seven years, the  King of R&B  will be joining the likes of  Lauryn Hill ,  Eve ,  Ari Lennox ,  Lucky Daye ,  Busta Rhymes ,  Adam Blackstone ,  The Isley Brothers , and even State Property with their special reunion.

Despite some fans demanding new music instead of new shows, the Diamond-certified sensation is currently pushing his latest record, “ GLU .” Of the single, he explained to VIBE , “More than anything, I think it is  striking conversation  about R&B, striking conversation about sex, and it’s striking conversation about that connection. And I like that. It feels connected. It feels like people want it.”

This Phenomenal Man puts on thee Best performance. When you see him live even if you weren't a fan you become a fan by the opening of the concert. He gives 1000 percent to the fans when he performes whether it's in state or international. I will Always support this Euphoric Artist, Always worth my time and money.

Report as inappropriate

The entire lineup for the show was great. I was kinda disappointed in Usher however. He did more dancing than singing. He had a good set list though. After waiting for over 30 minutes for his appearance though it was just not as good as it could have been.

He was born in Chattanooga Tennessee I went to school with him damn how money changes where u come from guess h3 doesn't remember singing to me at his last day in Chattanooga and he promised to come back hehehehe still one of my favorite singers

I saw usher in Vegas and let me just say that boy puts on a SHOW and his mic was ON! 🎤 LEGEND!!

No hits since 2010s

Your point???? 30 years and is currently in his 4th decade in the industry. At the same point in Michael Jackson and Prince careers they were no longer dropping hits left and right either. Name a male R&B artist that debut was 1993 but is still more relevant and successful than Usher…He’s already an icon and legend who’s influenced this entire generation of R&B/Pop artist of both men and women.

@Tino: AGREED!

I mean its only 2023 so technically you are right but he hadn’t dropped an album since 2018. Soo……………?

Usher seems to have found his lane with the residency approach. Just wish he’d drop an album…

With Eras Tour changes, these songs landed on Taylor Swift's chopping block

PARIS, France — Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye to six songs on the Eras Tour .

Taylor Swift made some changes to her mammoth Eras Tour show in La Défense Arena to usher in her 11th studio album "The Tortured Poets Department."

The new era introduced seven additional songs as well as the track "loml" during the surprise portion of the show. With the introductions meant the downfall for six songs from last year's set list.

The "Fearless," "Red," "Reputation," "1989" and "Midnights" sets remained intact throughout the performance. Swift gave a preview of the songs cut from her show in the first release of her Eras Tour movie but unlike in the film "Cardigan" and "Wildest Dreams" survived the chopping block.

The following tracks were cut in the new set list:

WHERE BLACK CULTURE, COMMUNITY AND CONSCIOUSNESS MEET

Sign up for essence newsletters the keep the black women at the forefront of conversation., usher reportedly plans to launch world tour following 2024 super bowl halftime performance.

Following last week’s announcement that Usher will headline the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show , the eight-time Grammy Award-winning musician reportedly plans on embarking on a world tour after the big game.

According to Billboard , sources close to Confessions singer stated that he may make the announcement in February during his SBLVIII performance. Additionally, these sources have revealed that Usher’s team has been placing holds on arenas around the world, further heightening global tour speculations. If the R&B icon does decide to announce a tour at halftime, he won’t be the first. Lady Gaga unveiled her plans for a tour after her medley in 2017.

Usher, who has had massive success with his Las Vegas residency, hasn’t been on the road since 2015’s The UR Experience Tour. Prior to that, he went on the 95-show OMG Tour, which accrued over $75M during its run.

While speaking to The Breakfast Club on September 26, the 44-year-old artist also told viewers that he would release his ninth studio album Coming Home , on the same day of the Super Bowl Halftime Show. This project marks Usher’s first solo project since 2016’s Hard II Love .

The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show is set to take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on February 11, 2024, airing live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

Was Usher’s Met Gala 2024 After-Party the Place to Be? Ye-Ah!

By Lauren Sanchez

About an hour after the 2024 Met Gala guests departed the Metropolitan Museum of Art (going out the same way they came in—those iconic red carpet stairs!), the fun was just beginning. The Met Gala after-parties were unfolding and rumored to be the party of the night was Usher’s “Secret Garden” invite, which brought out the best of New York in more ways than one.

The Times Square Edition set the scene by going green. The luxury hotel by legendary Studio 54 co-founder Ian Schrager, remained true to the Met Gala’s “The Garden of Time” theme. Lush foliage could be found at every turn, quite literally bringing to life the concrete jungle of New York under the electric billboard glow of Times Square.

To fend off the midnight cravings, New York City faves whipped up by Chef John Fraser were passed around. Hotdogs, burgers, and softserve ice cream were always within reach along with fresh cocktails prepared with Volcan Tequila and Belvedere Organic, or Whispering Angel Rose.

While the official invite informed guests of a 10:00 p.m. start time, the party truly didn’t start until Usher arrived alongside his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea. The “OMG” singer and songwriter could be seen dancing with guests as his mid-2000s hit, “Good Kisser,” boomed from the speakers. A-Listers abound, Naomi Campbell, Janelle Monae, Erykah Badu, Coco Rocha, Taraji P. Henson, Queen Latifa, Ne-Yo, Dwayne Wade, and Gabrielle Union were all in attendance.

Time lost all meaning as heavy bass thumps from Mos and D-Nice filled the cool night air. At 3:00 a.m. the party was far from over as guests danced well into the dawn.

Usher's 2024 Met Gala look: See the R&B legend's custom-made caped crusader ensemble

Oh "Yeah!" — Usher 's made it to the 2024 Met Gala .

Donning a black suit and hat accompanied by a cape, the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show headliner, 45, ascended the steps outside New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday night while holding an accessory that looked like a dripping rose.

The all-black ensemble was a custom-made Alexander McQueen look designed by Seán McGirr. A closer look reveals "all-over jet stone embroidery and red dipped rose appliqué detail," an X (formerly Twitter) post from @McQueen explained.

Speaking with USA TODAY's Anika Reed on the red carpet, the Grammy-winning hitmaker described the outfit as "exotic, romantic but still within the garden theme."

Last year, the "Love in this Club" crooner stepped out at the Met Gala wearing a look created by Bianca Saunders: a black suit, black sunglasses, leather gloves and a cream tie paired with a glimmering tie knot broach in honor of the 2023 theme, which paid tribute to the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld .

The R&B legend's appearance comes on the heels of some not-so-great news over the weekend as his Lovers & Friends music festival was canceled hours before it was scheduled to begin due to a high wind warning.

Usher , who had teased a  full performance of his "Confessions" album for the first time to celebrate its 20th anniversary , took to Instagram to share his feelings about the festival's cancellation.

"Mannn ... I'm just as disappointed as you are," Usher wrote to his Instagram story Saturday. "We were getting ready to turn up and celebrate today. I have to follow the orders of city officials and the National Weather Service for everyone's protection and stand strong in my belief that everything happens for a reason.

"I'm sorry we won't get to see each other today, but know that I am always working on something to express my heartfelt gratitude for each and every one of you who continue to support me," he wrote. "I'll see you soon."

Usher's essentials, From family time to twice-a-day workouts

Usher has otherwise had a strong showing this year between his career-spanning Super Bowl performance , which was replete with Las Vegas showgirls, roller skates and his signature fluid dance moves, which led into the release of his ninth album  "Coming Home" released in February.

Hours after his Super Bowl Sunday feat, Usher tied the knot with Jennifer Goicoechea, which whom he shares two of his four children: Sire and Sovereign, 3.

Usher adds 2nd Phoenix concert to his Past Present Future tour. Here's how to get tickets

Usher has added a second date at Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix as part of the Usher: Past Present Future Tour.

A day after bringing the house down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with the elaborately choreographed, star-studded hit parade that was his Super Bowl 2024 halftime show, the R&B icon announced that he was adding downtown Phoenix to the tour with a Footprint Center concert on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024.

A day after that first announcement broke, a second Footprint Center date has been added for Sunday, Nov. 24, due to overwhelming demand.

The tour is in support of "Coming Home," an album he dropped Friday, days before his headlining performance at the Super Bowl.

He announced 24 cities last week in the leadup to the game. The additional dates were added due to "incredible fan demand," according to a press release. The R&B legend ended his sold-out residency in Las Vegas in December after 100 shows.

Mike + The Mechanics to “play all the hits and drift into Genesis” on 2025 UK tour

The band, led by Genesis' Mike Rutherford, will play 30 dates across the country in early 2025

Mike + The Mechanics have announced a 2025 UK tour, on which they will “play all the hits” as well as “drift into Genesis ”. See all the dates below.

The shows, titled ‘Looking Back – Living The Years 2025 Tour’, will kick off on March 3 next year in Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, and run for a total of 30 nights, concluding at London’s Royal Albert Hall on April 14. You can get your tickets here .

The band were formed in 1985 by guitarist and bassist Mike Rutherford as a side project to Genesis, and originally featured vocalists Paul Young and Paul Carrack. After achieving commercial success, they separated in 2004 after Young’s death, before reuniting in 2010 with new vocalists Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar.

Speaking about the new tour, Rutherford has said: “It’s exciting to announce that we will be touring The Mechanics again. Getting back on the road with the guys last year was a real pleasure. Even though it had been four years, we slotted back into the old ways, the old jokes and the camaraderie like it had been a day!”

Referring to their 2023 ‘Refuelled!’ tour, he added: “We had so much fun on the last tour and the audiences were so gracious and warm, when we played the final show in Dusseldorf we all agreed then that we wanted to do it all again. We can’t wait to see you.”

Mike + The Mechanics will play: 

MARCH 3 – Glasgow, Royal Concert Hall 4 – Aberdeen, Music Hall 5 – Edinburgh, Usher Hall 7 – Perth, Concert Hall 8 – Stockton, Globe Theatre 9 – Manchester, Bridgewater Hall 11 – Nottingham, Royal Concert Hall 12 – Stoke, Victoria Halls 14 – York, Barbican 15 – Ipswich, Regent Theatre 17 – Cambridge, Corn Exchange 18 – Sheffield, City Hall 20 – Halifax, Victoria Halls 22 – Gateshead, Glasshouse 23 – Llandudno, Venue Cymru 24 – Liverpool, Philharmonic Hall 26 – Leicester, De Montfort Hall 27 – Basingstoke, Anvil 29 – Bournemouth, Pavilion 30 – Portsmouth, Guildhall 

Recommended

APRIL 1 – Southend, Cliffs Pavilion 2 – Northampton, Derngate 4 – Birmingham, Symphony Hall 5 – Eastbourne, Congress Theatre 6 – Oxford, New Theatre 8 – Guildford, G Live 10 – Bristol, Beacon 11 – Swansea, Arena 12 – Plymouth, Pavilions 14 – London, Royal Albert Hall 

Genesis played their last show together in March 2022 at London’s O2 Arena. Rutherford later described the gig as “bizarre” and “emotional” .

“It was nice afterwards when everybody, including Peter [Gabriel] and Richard McPhail [tour manager from the seventies], were together in the dressing room,” he said. “Apart from that we kept backstage closed off.”

“But the actual show felt bizarre. I was kind of okay until I saw on my setlist that there were just four songs left. Seeing that in print made me emotional, but having got through all of the problems with Covid, it felt very good to see things through.”

Playing 23 tracks in total, Genesis ran through a long list of their biggest hits including ‘I Can’t Dance’, ‘Mama’, ‘Turn It On Again’, ‘No Son Of Mine’ and ‘Invisible Touch’.

Before playing ‘Land Of Confusion’, Phil Collins addressed the crowd and announced that it would be Genesis’ final show. As the crowd applauded the band, Collins sat looking thoughtful, seemingly taking in the fact that it was the last hoorah. He then quipped: “After tonight we’ve all gotta get real jobs.”

Collins performed that show in a wheelchair, after a period of health problems relating to damaged vertebrae in his neck.

Rutherford later offered an update on Collins’ condition , saying: “He’s much more immobile than he used to be, which is a shame, but at the tour, he was in good spirits.

“He’s fine now at home, enjoying life. He’s worked so hard over the years. I think he’s enjoying his time at home.”

Usher is sharing his frustration over the cancellation of the Lovers & Friends Festival 2024 in Las Vegas.

Lovers & Friends Festival 2024 Canceled Due to Severe Weather in Las Vegas

Shortly after organizers announced on Friday night (May 3) that the one-day music festival was called off due to dangerous weather conditions, the R&B icon shared a message with fans who were headed to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds to watch him headline on Saturday.

“Mannn… I’m just as disappointed as you are. We were getting ready to turn up and celebrate today,” Usher wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I have to follow the orders of city officials and the National Weather Service for everyone’s protection and stand strong in my belief that everything happens for a reason.”

Usher was set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his classic album Confessions during the festival on Saturday. The star-studded lineup also included headliners Janet Jackson and Backstreet Boys, along with performances by Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Nas, Alicia Keys, and many others.

Less than 15 hours before the festival was scheduled to begin, organizers shared a message on social media explaining that the outdoor event was being called off because of a high wind warning issued by the National Weather Service.

“The National Weather Service has now issued a High Wind Warning, including dangerous 30-35 mph sustained winds with gusts potentially more than 60 mph,” organizers wrote. “Following advice from the National Weather Service and in consultation with local public officials, we must make the safest decision for our fans, artists, and staff, and cancel tomorrow’s Lovers & Friends Festival.”

They added, “This was an incredibly heartbreaking decision to make as we are aware that fans have traveled from all over the world to enjoy this incredible lineup of superstars and have been looking forward to this event for several months. We’ve worked hard to create an amazing event for you, and we are just as disappointed as you are.”

Fans who purchased their tickets directly through Front Gate Tickets will receive a refund within 30 days, organizers said.

Mannn…I’m just as disappointed as you are. We were getting ready to turn up and celebrate today. I have to follow the orders of city officials and the National Weather Service for everyone’s protection and stand strong in my belief that everything happens for a reason. I’m sorry… — Usher Raymond IV (@Usher) May 4, 2024

The Morning

A fresh approach to a crisis.

A group of researchers posited another explanation for the youth mental health crisis: too much discussion.

By Ellen Barry

She covers mental illness.

For years now, policymakers have sought an explanation for the mental health crisis among young people. Suicide attempts and psychiatric hospitalizations were rising even before the pandemic. Then the rates of anxiety and depression doubled worldwide.

Why is this happening? The social psychologist Jonathan Haidt points to smartphones, and the algorithms that draw kids away from healthy play and into dangerous, addictive thought loops. No, his critics say. The real problem is a grim social landscape of school shootings, poverty and global warming. Or academic pressure. Or insufficient health care.

A group of researchers in Britain now propose another, at least partial, explanation: We talk about mental disorders so much. I cover this notion in a story The Times published today .

This hypothesis is called “prevalence inflation.” It holds that our society has become so saturated with discussion of mental health that young people may interpret mild, transient suffering as symptoms of a medical disorder.

This is a problem, they say, because identifying with a psychiatric diagnosis may not be helpful. Students who self-label as anxious or depressed are more likely than similar students who don’t self-label to view themselves as powerless over the disorder, recent studies have shown. They may respond by avoiding stressful situations like parties or public speaking, which could make their problems worse.

One of the psychologists behind the prevalence inflation theory, Lucy Foulkes of the University of Oxford, traces her skepticism back to 2018, when she began teaching undergraduates. They were “bombarded” with messages warning that they might be in crisis, she said. “It seemed like the more we were trying to raise awareness about it, it wasn’t getting better, and in fact, it only seemed to be getting worse.”

She grew critical of curricula that teach children to recognize and manage their emotions, sometimes referred to as social emotional learning. Schools have introduced an array of programs, teaching children the basics of techniques like mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy, which have proved beneficial in adults.

Several recent studies have found lackluster or negative effects for students who received trainings, especially those who started out with more severe symptoms. That evidence has done little to dampen their popularity, Foulkes said.

An urgent need

Many experts in the field of adolescent mental health defend awareness campaigns and school-based trainings. “Especially with teens, we need more universal interventions, not less,” said Zachary Blumkin, a child psychologist at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

The main reason, they say, is that traditional, one-on-one therapy and psychiatric care is not easily available. Teenagers in crisis can wait months to see a clinician. They often land in emergency rooms as a last resort.

For that reason, the field has gravitated toward preventive models. These teach all students — not just the troubled ones — to manage distressing emotions. A 2023 meta-analysis of 252 such programs concluded that, generally, children benefit from them. There is also promise in a more tailored approach , one that lets schools focus on kids with the most acute needs.

Some experts also disagree that over-diagnosis is a problem.

Andrew Gerber, a child psychiatrist, says we should think of mental illness as a spectrum: Disorders like anxiety or depression occur in a bell curve distribution, so they’re more like hypertension than appendicitis. And like hypertension, he said, they’re worth treating early in their progression, with medication and therapy. “Anyone who tries to define a sharp line between ‘real’ illness and what is not real, no matter where they put the line, is doomed to get it wrong and do damage in the process,” said Gerber, the president and medical director at Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Conn.

Foulkes disagrees. Even when we have good treatments, we’re bad at identifying whose disorder is likely to deteriorate, she said. And some children struggle because something is wrong at home, like domestic abuse or poverty or bullying. Mindfulness trainings are unlikely to help these kids.

“A lot of the time, what’s causing the problem is not something that’s going to improve with medication or therapy,” she said. “You’re running the risk of just telling people they have a problem without helping alleviate it.”

A generation is growing up fluent in the language of mental health, something that will benefit teens who badly need treatment. But others may apply medical diagnoses to the painful, normal adversity of growing up.

The “prevalence inflation” hypothesis asks us to keep an eye on those excesses. People hurt after breakups and struggle to adjust to new schools; negative feelings aren’t always a sign of mental illness. They can even teach us resilience.

Rates of mental health disorders are rising among American adolescents. Read one 13-year-old’s story .

There aren’t always enough resources to support teenagers’ mental health. As schools search for solutions, some student-led clubs step in .

Are smartphones driving teenagers to depression? It’s complicated , writes David Wallace-Wells in Times Opinion.
