Usher’s sold-out Las Vegas residency continues through the end of the month. He is set to return to Sin City in 2023 with performances scheduled between March 2023 and July 2023.
$1 of each purchased ticket for Usher’s 2023 residency will support his foundation, Usher’s New Look, Inc. (UNL).
During a conversation on the People Everyday Podcast, the chart-topper explained why he decided to extend his Las Vegas stay.
“Having an audience come to you is always great. I love the fact that I’ve been able to really celebrate all of the years of my music and see a very mixed, eclectic crowd of people. But I think more than anything, the fact that it fits my lifestyle.”
