Bad news for Usher fans as Australian leg of his global tour is cancelled

Singer-songwriter Usher has cancelled the Australian leg of his Past Present Future global tour.

In a statement issued via Ticketek, Live Nation confirmed, "The promoter of USHER's Australian Tour regrets to advise that the scheduled shows to take place in November/ December, will no longer be proceeding."

Live Nation shared details on the refund process for Australian concertgoers, "All tickets purchased (including refundable ticket purchases, if relevant) will be automatically refunded in full to the original payment method used. Customers do not need to take any action. Customers should allow approximately 30 business days for the refund to appear in their account."

The R&B superstar was set to play 12 shows across Melbourne and Sydney in November and December. This would have marked his first Australian tour in nearly 14 years, Billboard reported.

He first announced the Australian leg of the Past Present Future tour on May 7, telling fans he was "bringing the A to the AUS" on Instagram.

The tour, which has already seen Usher perform in the US and Europe, was set to kick off November 19 at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena before moving to Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on December 1.

A description for the show reads that Usher "will take the stage in celebration of his 30-year career, performing iconic hits like Yeah! and U Got It Bad, alongside tracks from his latest album COMING HOME, released earlier this year via mega/gamma." ANI
