Usher Reschedules More Shows

After rescheduling Wednesday’s show in Berlin to Thursday, and then walking off the stage in the middle of Thursday’s gig, Usher has postponed the next three performances on his European tour.

People.com reported that Usher performed two songs Thursday at Berlin’s O2 Arena before lowering his head, standing silently on stage for about four minutes and walking off. Fans were informed that the singer was too sick to go on with the show.

According to his official website, Usher is suffering from upper respiratory illness.

He is set to return to the stage Jan. 18 with a show at Halle Tony Garnier in Lyon, France.
