Usher steps out in glitzy suit as he puts on a show-stopping performance during first night of his string of sold-out London O2 concerts

Usher put on a show-stopping performance for his doting fans during the first night of his string of sold-out concerts at London’s O2 Arena.

The R&B star, 46, landed in the capital earlier this week to prepare for his back-to-back shows across March, April and May. 

He will play a whopping 10 shows altogether, with Saturday March 29 kicking things off.

Usher, whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV, wasted no time as he pulled out all the stops in a glittering head-to-toe suit and black leather gloves.

He was also seen in a huge fur coat as he danced around on stage beside his crew.

The Daddy’s Home singer looked ecstatic to be performing in front of the huge crowd to around 200,000 people.

During the show, he chatted to guests and took selfies with them on the stage, to which the audience went wild.

And he also proved he’s still incredible at dancing as he showed off his moves.

Just one week ago, Usher put on an attention-grabbing display as he arrived in the UK, toting around £30,000 worth of Hermes Birkin bags.

He kept warm in a black hooded leather jacket, layered over a turtle-neck sweater, and added a pair of Yves Saint Laurent sweatpants worth £920.

Usher completed his outfit with black trainers and represented Atlanta, where he grew up, with a Braves baseball cap.

However, his biggest statement was a pair of luxury bags from Hermes’s ultra-rare Birkin leather tote range, one in cream with terracotta borders and one in dark grey.

Stepping out of a silver Mercedes van flanked by his entourage, the Grammy Award-winning singer looked in good spirits as he raised a hand to wave to his fans.

Usher’s pop career is heading into its fourth decade with a head of steam, after the star performed at the Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024 and enjoyed a popular Las Vegas residency last year.

He also wowed US fans with a successful tour of the States but was forced to reschedule his Miami concerts after Florida declared a ‘state of emergency’ amid Hurricane Milton in October.

Though many praised Usher’s commitment to safety for his fans and tour crew, others criticised the decision and voiced frustration over the new dates.

Usher kicked off his Past Present Future tour in August. It marked his sixth headlining concert tour.

The 78-date run has seen him travel across the United States and Europe and will come to a close in May after his final two back-to-back shows at The O2. 

The Past Present Future tour has been in support of Usher’s ninth studio album Coming Home. It was released in February 2024 – two days before he headlined the halftime show in Las Vegas.

It features 20 tracks and collaborations with the likes of 21 Savage, Summer Walker and Latto.
