CNN reports that the R&B star was forced to cancel his Wednesday concert in Berlin at the last minute due to an upper respiratory illness.
"I was ill and felt that I would not have been able to give that show that you all properly deserve," Usher Tweeted. The show was rescheduled for Thursday, but Justin Bieber's mentor wasn't out of the woods just yet.
The singer lip-synched his first two hits and danced poorly to them, according to a local Berlin tabloid. German fans began to boo. Usher reportedly lowered his head and stood silently on the stage for about four minutes before walking off the stage.
The stage lights then came on, and fans were told Usher was too sick to continue the show.
Trying to fight off sickness is what his reps say has been "preventing him from performing a proper show."
The 32-year-old father of two released a statement directly to his fans, saying, "I am truly sorry for any inconvenience I have caused my fans. My fans are the best in the world and I am looking forward to getting better so that I can give them the show they deserve."
It was only last month that Usher was kicked in the face by a fan on stage at Madison Square Garden.
Let's hope the booing Berliners can give the guy a break. He's had his fair share of trauma in front of an audience lately!
