Usher’s Euro schedule was in doubt when, last week, NBC announced he and Shakira would fill in for CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera. Now the other shoe has dropped, clobbering a run that was supposed to begin in Amsterdam in mid-January.

Here’s the word from Live Nation Global Touring (per Usher’s website):

“Due to professional and personal commitments Usher will have to reschedule his upcoming European tour dates. With the recently confirmed commitment to the Voice, to ensure that his fans world-wide are treated to the best possible concert experience, the entire tour will be rescheduled to fall 2013 with dates in both North America and Europe scheduled to run concurrently at that time.”

“The feeling of euphoria that I get when performing for you is indescribable. I love each and every one of you and thank you for being there every step of the way. I truly appreciate and am grateful for your support while I take this time to focus on my children and continue to evolve with my fans. Evolve or evaporate.

Love Usher.”?

The promoter said a new touring schedule would be announced in 2013.
