Usher axes Australian shows and offers no explanation to fans
Usher has canceled his upcoming Australia tour scheduled for November and December.
The 46-year-old had planned to bring his globetrotting Past Present Future tour Down Under for 12 shows - six at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena and six at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
However, fans were left heartbroken on Friday to find an email from Ticketek announcing the string of shows Down Under would not go ahead, with no explanation why.
'The promoter of USHER's Australian Tour regrets to advise that the scheduled November/December shows, will no longer be proceeding,' the email read.
'All purchased tickets will receive a full refund.'
The tour would have been Usher's first headlining tour Down Under in more than a decade.
His last headlining run was back in 2011, on his OMG tour.
The singer was last in the country back in 2018, performing alongside the likes of Salt-N-Pepa, T-Pain and Naughty By Nature for the RNB Fridays Live tour.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted promoter Live Nation for comment.

Usher's tour, which kicked off in the US back in August last year, has since jetted to Europe and the UK.
Usher took to Instagram in May to make the announcement, sharing a compilation video of some of the best tour moments.
Fans were quick to express their excitement over the announcement with the likes of, 'I'm so excited, I'm headed to Australia'.
