Raymond & Brown Tour
[ April 10, 2026 ]
It’s Breezy and U-S-H-E-R. Chris Brown and Usher are hitting the road together for the R&B Tour (short for Raymond & Brown), which will take over stadiums later this year.
The pair of R&B legends announced the co-headlining trek on Friday (April 10) with a cinematic commercial. “ITS TIME! #R&BTOUR #Raymond&Brown,” they captioned the X post.
The clip shows both Usher and Breezy speeding through town on motorcycles, then pulling up to the venue. The “Party” collaborators head inside and hit the “stadium” button in an elevator, then take over the stage together, with a roaring crowd ready to explode.
“Watching yall do ‘Party’ gone be insane. Our first number 1,” producer Hitmaka wrote in the comment section. Fridayy, Jacquees, D-Nice, Lala Anthony, Ebro and Tyrese all showed love as well.
Dates for the tour are yet to be made public. However, Brown will have a new album ready to perform. C. Breezy announced that his new album, Brown, is slated to arrive on May 8.
He released a second single from his 12th studio album on Friday with “Obvious,” which follows “It Depends” featuring Bryson Tiller. Usher also hopped on the “It Depends” remix.
Usher and Brown have collaborated a handful of times over the years, including on standout top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hits “New Flame” and “Party,” as well as the “Back to Sleep” remix.
Brown is coming off a dominant stadium run with his Breezy Bowl XX tour last year, which earned $295.5 million and sold just under two million tickets (1.983 million) over 49 shows (across North America and Europe), according to Billboard Boxscore.

Usher says no one is surpassing Michael Jackson’s impact: “Everybody has their space in history”
[ September 15, 2024 ]
When it comes to an artist exceeding Michael Jackson’s influence, Usher is certain who wins the debate between him and Chris Brown
BY Angelina Velasquez
What would music look and sound like without the influence of Michael Jackson, the world’s biggest and most iconic pop star to grace the global stage? We may never know for sure, but the generation of entertainers who used his career as a blueprint to chart their own success makes his impact undeniable.
Usher is among the artists who have found ways to weave hints of the “Thriller” superstar into his performances and stage persona, dance moves included. But if you were to ask him who, if anyone, might be the second coming of Jackson, he wouldn’t name himself or any other pop-R&B act.
“The same as in history, there’s been inspiration that defines who and inspired who I am. There will only be one Little Richard. There will only be one James Brown. There will only be one Michael Jackson. There will only be one Prince. There will only be one Usher,” he told The Associated Press. “So with that, everybody has their space in history. I’m just trying to make certain that we remember it.”
The eight-time Grammy Award-winner released his ninth studio album, Coming Home, performed at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, launched a world tour, PAST PRESENT FUTURE, and has been receiving his flowers for his decades-long career all year. He is currently promoting his international concert film, USHER: RENDEZVOUS IN PARIS, that completes its three-day run in AMC Theaters on Sunday (Sept. 15).

Usher brings romance to the biggest stage in America: The Super Bowl
[ February 09, 2024 ]
BY MARISSA EVANS / Photography by MARIAH TAUGER
You can see galaxies in Usher Raymond IV’s eyes.
They twinkle as he speaks, no matter how little lighting there is in a room. His deep gaze, soft and curious, makes you wonder what he sees in your humanity, whether it’s beauty, intelligence, kindness, warmth or something else. You have to consider when is the last time someone has looked into your eyes with such attentiveness. You could fall into his dimples when he smiles. His voice is rich and velvety. His hugs are warm. He is a deep sigh of dreaminess personified.
It comes naturally to a man who has made romance part of his legacy for three decades and done soul searching on how he thinks about love. He’s intentional in so many things he does, including lighting a candle in the home theater of a lavish Beverly Hills home “for the vibe” before opening up about who he is as a human and an artist.
“I wanted you to feel cool and feel the energy,” Usher said. “Maybe it was something about that candle that was lit that just changed the vibe in the room, the tone that I speak to you in, looking you in your eyes when I actually talk to you, that probably makes you feel a little bit more safe and like we’re really connected in this moment.”
Recently, the R&B icon’s run of sold-out Vegas residencies, a new album and headlining the Super Bowl half-time show have sparked renewed admiration from veteran and young fans alike. On Tuesday, the singer announced the “Usher: Past, Present, Future” tour, a 24-city trek launching in August. Usher’s moment in the spotlight in the heart of America’s biggest game will be a legacy-defining moment not only for himself but for romance and R&B.
In the years since Usher started his career in the early 1990s, our ideas of intimacy have evolved dramatically. Women are reconsidering the merits of singledom and men are facing a potential loneliness epidemic. Same-sex marriage is legal, polyamory and nonmonogamous relationships are becoming less taboo, people are realizing they are asexual, and the love of your life could be one swipe away on dating apps. Every other week the internet debates whether getting coffee or ice cream is a worthy first date and tries to quantify what effort in dating should look like. Romance, in our love lives and platonic relationships, often feels fleeting when love languages are easily lost in translation and the slow burn of vulnerability and trust building feels exhausting.

[ February 07, 2024 ]
Viewers of this upcoming Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show might notice a little something extra: time.
Usher, the velvety-voiced King of R&B and all-around ageless hottie, tells EW that he and his team were very “strategic” while creating his supersized Las Vegas performance.
While most performers are tasked with condensing their entire music catalog into an incredibly tight show that runs around 13 minutes, Usher reveals that he managed to get 15.
“I can’t explain why, but it’s a funny thing that I was able to do and craft,” Usher explains ahead of the big game. “That was a huge strategic thing that happened between me and my agency.“
The 45-year-old says he’s not nervous about performing on the biggest stage in the world (“Anxiety, but no, not nerves”), which he sees as a culmination of his Vegas residency that ran for two years and 100 shows. The Super Bowl will be his 101st show and thus, he says, a time for him to “finally celebrate” what he accomplished.
