More shows have been removed from the schedule on Chris Brown and Usher’s co-headlining R&B tour. On Nov. 11, upcoming shows in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 16 and Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Dec. 6 were marked on the official Ticketmaster website
as having been canceled.
Representatives for Usher, Brown, and Ticketmaster did not immediately return Rolling Stone‘s requests for comment. The pair are still currently set to perform tonight, Nov. 11, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, marking their fifth and final night at the venue.
Last month, a string of performances in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Columbia, South Carolina, on the R&B tour were canceled. A statement issued by tour organizers via Complex read, “The event promoter has made the difficult decision to cancel select upcoming dates on the R&B Tour to prioritize the health and well-being of the touring party and crew. The demands of a tour of this length and scale are significant, and these adjustments will allow the tour to continue safely and sustainably through the remaining scheduled performances.”
Those particular dates coincided with Brown’s scheduled appearance for a sentencing hearing at Southwark Crown Court in London regarding a 2023 attack in a London nightclub. The singer was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months, and will pay a £1,500, or $2,000, fine toward the prosecution. His prison sentence was waived as a result, per Billboard.
The R&B Tour is currently scheduled to continue through Dec. 12 with eight shows to go, excluding the two canceled dates. The pair will conclude the run in Tampa, Florida, following stops in Inglewood, California; New Orleans; Houston; and Miami.
