Usher and Chris Brown have cancelled two more concerts on their joint R&B Tour. The affected dates were scheduled for November 16 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and December 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
The cancellations were reported on November 10 and November 11. Ticketmaster’s event listings now mark both shows as cancelled. The ticket retailer also advised affected customers that refunds would be issued to their original payment methods.
The news follows a difficult opening night during the tour’s five-show run at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Their November 5 performance reportedly started around two and a half hours late. The singers also did not share the stage during the first show, prompting questions about their relationship.
R&B singer Tank also addressed the reports. He suggested that competition and different ideas about how to approach a performance could create conflict between two major artists. However, he did not confirm that a backstage argument had taken place. Tank also said the following shows had improved and that the tour was finding its rhythm again.
The latest cancellations follow four earlier changes to the tour schedule. Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbia in South Carolina and Indianapolis were removed in October. At the time, organisers cited the health and well-being of the touring party and crew. They did not confirm that the same explanation applied to the newly cancelled dates.
Despite the uncertainty, the tour has not been cancelled in full. Ticketmaster continued to list the November 15 SoFi Stadium show, along with other upcoming dates. The status of each remaining performance should be checked with the ticket provider before fans make travel arrangements.
