Chris Brown and Usher joined forces this year for a once-in-a-generation tour. The dream clash of R&B titans has filled stadiums all summer after kicking off the trek in Denver on June 26, and they’ve taken their talents across North America.
Every show has been a prolific display of singing, dancing, acrobatics and anthem after anthem from CB’s and Usher’s discographies.
The expansive trek is set to wrap up in Tampa, Fla., on Dec. 12. There’s even been unexpected viral moments, such as when Usher kicked a woman off stage who looked uninterested in his steamy lap dance offering during a Nashville stop as she preferred Chris Brown. She ultimately got her wish when CB brought the fan back on stage months later during a November show in Atlanta.
With two of the 21st century’s R&B architects teaming up two decades into their careers, Usher likened the superstars linking up to Michael Jackson and Prince embarking on a co-headlining trek at the peak of their powers. “To be able to do something that no one has ever done at their back — like, imagine if Michael and Prince were able to do something together,” Usher told the Joe & Jada podcast in August.
Usher and Breezy have also had a few surprises up their sleeves, bringing out a range of special guests, including appearances from Future, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige.
Here are all of the special guests Usher and Chris Brown have brought out on the R&B Tour so far.
