Sugababes' Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy join fellow singer Macy Gray at Usher's star-studded final tour show at the O2
The Sugababes joined fellow singers Macy Gray and Kimberley Walsh at Usher 's star-studded final show at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday night, bringing his mammoth Past Present Future tour to its close.
The King of R&B, - whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV - finally completed his staggering tour, after wowing crowds with his hits like Yeah, Burn, U Remind Me and OMG since August.
The singer is set to bring the globetrotting tour to Down Under next, with four shows each in Melbourne and Sydney.
And Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy were among the VIPs putting on edgy displays at the concert, before celebrating with Usher at his European tour wrap party at The Yeah Man.
Keisha, 40, appeared to have not aged a day since shooting to fame in the girl group over two decades ago, in an effortlessly stylish all-black ensemble.
She put on a leggy display in a tiny miniskirt teamed with a leather jacket and matching knee-high heeled boots.

Her long raven hair was styled sleek and straight, while she accentuated her ageless beauty with a light palette of radiant makeup.
Keisha posed alongside bandmate Mutya, 39, who cut a typically glamorous figure in a daringly short fluffy miniskirt and bejewelled boots.
Leaving little to the imagination, she paired her skirt with a sheer sparkly shirt with a plunging neckline, putting her ample cleavage on full display.
Meanwhile, Siobhán, 40, opted for a more understated outfit, looking on trend in a pair of black leather trousers with silver studded details.
She added a fashionable green bomber jacket over the top and trainers, while pulling her fiery red locks up into a chic updo.
R&B songstress Macy, 57, looked to be having a ball at the gig and afterparty, keeping comfy in a grey hoodie and brown oversized trousers.
While Girls Aloud star Kimberley, 43, opted for effortless sophistication in a chocolate brown blazer over a matching lowcut top.
The mother-of-three added simple blue jeans and trainers underneath, while giving her look some added glamour with gold earrings and a radiant face of makeup.

The Sugababes' appearance at the show comes after they embarked on a 'new chapter' and released their first single in two years.
In March, the trio revealed their new track Jungle marking their return, after parting ways with their record label BMG to go independent.
Sharing their elation at the new song, they said in a statement: 'We are so excited to release 'Jungle' and cement this new chapter for us, after what has been an incredible 3 years on the road.
'As soon as it was written, it felt like the perfect thing for people to hear first. A song about escaping the 9-5 grind, we hope everyone can let their inner animal out when they hear this!'
The single - produced by Jon Shave (the man behind Charli XCX's Grammy winning BRAT album) - mixes the girls' unmistakable harmonies with a blend of 2 step, garage and alt-pop.
Meanwhile, the group have been writing new material with none other that Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall, now simply known as JADE.
The Round Round hitmakers revealed that they've so far recorded a verse and a chorus on the track for the singer, but the project has yet to be completed.
Speaking to NME about about presenting JADE with her BRIT Award for Best Pop Act recently, Keisha shared: 'It was lovely, and we actually had a writing session with her a couple of weeks ago, which was cool.
On writing with JADE, Siobhán added: 'The whole thing was very relaxed: a no pressure situation. You [Keisha] were putting on your makeup to go out and JADE was putting on her makeup to go out, and we were all just writing. It felt exciting.'
Meanwhile, the girls have set their sights on taking to the coveted Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, noting how it is 'definitely on out wish list'.
However, Keisha notes that she'd like the girls to have some new hits under their belts first so that they don't appear to just be another nostalgic act.
She added that she wants their set to feel 'fresh and new' and for them to be 'relevant', adding that the girls hate the word 'reunion' as it's not 'where they're at'.
Meanwhile, the band have been on the road for their biggest ever UK and European tour since last month, kicking off on April 8 in Leeds, before they are set to wrap up in Milan this month.
Keisha, Mutya and Siobhan formed the iconic girl band in 1998, but the lineup then went through several shake-ups after Siobhan left in 2001.
She was replaced by Heidi Range - with Mutya and Keisha eventually being replaced in the mid-2000s by Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen, respectively.
The trio won back the rights to their name in 2019 and have since gone on to huge success with a plethora of sold out shows in both in the UK and internationally.

I was 15 when my nude pics were leaked – grown men sent them around at the football club & everyone blamed ME
LIKE many young girls, Jess Davies wanted to impress her school crush and decided to send him an explicit photo of herself. Little did the 15-year-old know that he would send it around the school and she would become a victim of image abuse. "That image got bluetoothed around my school, and then it got shared around my hometown, which was a small hometown in Wales, everyone knows everyone," she explained on the Should I Delete That podcast. Image-based sexual abuse is a criminal offence, it's when someone takes, shares, or threatens to share sexually explicit images or videos of a person without their knowledge or consent, and with the aim of causing them distress or harm. This can include digitally altered images, also known as 'deepfakes' - something Jess has gone on to lobby the government to include in the Online Harms Safety Bill. Now 32, Jess has opened up about the trauma it caused and more shockingly, how she was blamed for the abuse. She revealed that once the photo had circulated in her hometown, it was then shared to grown adult men on the local football team. Instead of seeing Jess as a victim, whose private photo was shared without her consent, people blamed her. "Everyone knew my age because it was a small town, and yet, the whole narrative was around how it was my fault," Jess added. "That I shouldn't have sent it, what kind of girl are you? "There was never any conversation around why are men in their twenties and thirties passing around a child's image?" Jess was left as a teenage girl worrying about how to navigate the situation, and she decided she had to laugh it off. Vicky Pattison shares deepfake porn clip of herself as she warns of dangers on C4 doc She revealed that boys in year 7 would run up and ask for a hug as they had seen the image as well. "I was laughing but secretly, this was humiliating," she said. In the end, her parents also found out about the image, as her nan was told about it from one of the men on the football team, where the image was being circulated. Now, as Jess has gotten older, she realises that the way people treated her for the image was not okay and that she was held more accountable than the grown men sharing the image. It has now led Jess to become an advocate for female rights and sexual abuse. Her BBC documentary 'Deepfake Porn: Could You Be Next' was used to lobby the UK government to criminalise deepfake porn. Jess also has a new book, No One Wants To See Your Dick, a guide for surviving the digital age to help us understand and tackle online misogyny and question society's understanding of consent.

Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton's romance heats up as they're spotted ‘all over each other' on spa trip
TV spa-ring partners See what the pair have said about each other in the past GETHIN Jones and Helen Skelton's relationship has heated up in recent weeks as they continue to grow close off screen. The Morning Live presenters were spotted looking loved up as they headed to a country club and spa on Monday. 5 5 Gethin, 47, took Helen, 41, to the venue near his home - surprising onlookers with their flirty antics. An insider said: 'Gethin and Helen were all over each other. They are clearly super comfortable with each other and it wasn't just like two friends hanging out. 'Helen was really laughing and smiling as they spent time together before heading off in the late afternoon.' They both appear on the BBC show on week day mornings, which is based in Manchester. But they have been spending an increasing amount of time together outside of the studio. Helen is based in Cornwall with her children Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and Elsie, three, who she shares with her ex-husband Richie Myler. It was first reported last month how their relationship had turned more than just platonic. They were pictured close at the Baftas and last year were spotted at a charity ball set up by Rob Burrow 's sisters, with a source adding about the ball: "It was very clear that Helen and Gethin were together as a couple at the event. "They were with close friends of Helen's and their connection was undeniable." Helen's husband Richie left her for Stephanie Thirkill in 2022. Watch touching moment Helen Skelton breaks down in tears as she's reunited with her kids during gruelling Comic Relief challenge The Strictly star faced further heartbreak when her rugby player ex went on to have two children with his new love. Gethin, who has previously dated former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh and was engaged to mezzo-soprano singer Katherine Jenkins, recently revealed that he's had little success on the dating scene. He said he was struck off the popular dating app Hinge because women didn't believe his profile was really him. Helen and Gethin took part in an epic Comic Relief challenge earlier this year and both gushed about each other after raising £34million for charity. Helen said on social media: "I don't publicly say often enough how much love and respect I have for you my friend because I assume it is well known. "But for the record you're a legend and I am beyond grateful to have you by my side on the rink, the sofa and beyond. "I can gush.. he doesn't read beyond one paragraph on an insta post." Helen and Gethin's reps have been contacted for comment. 5
