Usher and Chris Brown Cancel Two Tour Dates Amid Reported Feud

Two shows have been removed from the co-headlining R&B tour of Usher and Chris Brown, according to the official Ticketmaster website, which on Nov. 11 marked their Nov. 16 Los Angeles date at SoFi Stadium and Dec. 6 Miami date at Hard Rock Stadium as canceled. The pair were still set to perform that night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, their fifth and final night there. Representatives for Usher, Brown and Ticketmaster did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The changes come amid reported rumors of a feud after a Thursday Atlanta show that started more than two hours late, according to one report, and fans are demanding refunds or a replacement concert.

Rolling Stone, a left-leaning outlet, leads with the canceled dates and the Atlanta finale still on the schedule, and features no quotes because representatives did not respond; it does not mention the feud reports or the late start. Stereogum, an alternative outlet, leads with the reported feud, citing TMZ on a backstage argument over starting on time and on relations that remain icy, and it features Usher's remark to his hometown crowd. Washington Times, a right-leaning outlet whose excerpt was all that was available, leads with fans demanding refunds or a replacement after the late Atlanta show, and its headline refers to a tour cancellation without naming dates. The left and alternative sources agree on the two canceled shows but differ on whether the feud is central; the right excerpt gives no feud account.
