Here's your chance to see Usher live!
Tickets recently went on sale for R&B star Usher's one-night-only concert at the Apollo Theater in Harlem scheduled for June 6. If you can't afford to buy tickets, he'll be performing live at Bryant Park on Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series this Friday to promote his new album "Here I Stand." GMA's outdoor concert is free and open to the public, but you can also watch it on ABC / 7 Friday morning.
According to Newsday's Glenn Gamboa, Usher is "apparently trying to reconcile his R&B playa-with-a-heart past with his married-and-grown present and it's not totally working out." I happen to disagree, but I'll let you get the CD and decide for yourself!
Last year, the sexy singer/actor married celebrity stylist Tameka (Foster) Raymond, 38, and the two are now the parents of a 6-month-old son, also named Usher. His romance with Tameka, who is eight years older, prompted criticsm from celebrity bloggers and fans based on rumors that their relationship was causing a rift between Usher and his mom/former manager. Tameka also was accused of being pregnant with her ex-husband's child, which turned out to be false. There was so much speculation, Tameka had to address the rumors in an interview with Essence magazine.
Despite all the chatter, Usher refuses to let it get in the way of what really matters to him. "Anytime somebody says something negative, I pull my family [together] and know we're strong together," he said. "I never let that affect me ... I just continue to do positive things," he said in an interview with GMA.
