Usher is an R&B singer, performer, and Grammy Award-winning musical artist recognized for his long-standing career in the music industry. He is known for headline concert residencies and major tour engagements.
In 2026, Usher embarked on The R&B Tour, a massive 59-date co-headlining North American stadium run alongside fellow R&B artist Chris Brown. During a concert stop in Texas, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett appeared onstage to formally honor Usher by entering his career achievements into the United States Congressional Record. He also made headlines during a concert run in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he invited actress Taraji P. Henson onstage to share the spotlight during his performance.
In Sin City, Usher unveiled a detailed roller-skating wax figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas and donated his own jacket to complete the display. His work has also featured prominently in music industry litigation, including an $18 million Sony Music royalty lawsuit filed and subsequently settled by hit-making producer Jermaine Dupri involving hit songs created with Usher.
