Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Videos, R&B / Soul,
One Usher fan had a moment with the singer this week that neither she nor he will ever forget.
Monday night at Madison Square Garden, the entertainer invited a concertgoer on to the stage during his show. Unfortunately, what should have been a romantic serenade turned into a painful memory for both parties. (Cue the tape to the 2:50 mark to see the awkward moment.)
Despite being kicked in the face, Usher says he has "no hard feelings" about the event. "In all my years, this is one of the most interesting experiences. I got a kick out of it!" he claimed to Us Weekly. "It looked worse than it actually was. My audience and I got a good laugh."
"Wherever you are baby, don't feel bad," he added.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Gossip, R&B / Soul,
At the “insistence” of her doctors, Aretha Franklin has canceled all of her upcoming appearances until May 2011.
A rep for the “Queen of Soul” made that announcement today without providing any other details about the singer’s health.
"Ms. Franklin is resting comfortably at home, but is very anxious to get back on the road to perform for her countless fans around the world," a statement read.
Just last week, the 68-year-old was released from a Detroit hospital where she had been receiving treatment for undisclosed reasons. It’s not known if Thursday’s news was in any way related to her stay.
"The award winning songstress sends her sincerest apologies to her loyal followers and colleagues for the canceled shows," her publicist added.

Prince to Headline at Glastonbury
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Pop, R&B / Soul, Rock,
Prince is set to headline next year's Glastonbury festival.
The "Purple Rain" hitmaker has reportedly taken one of the top slots at the UK music festival -- one of Europe's largest -- with U2 and Coldplay also being lined up by organizer Michael Eavis.
"Michael was very keen to get the line-up sorted early and is over the moon at securing such massive acts. He is a huge fan of Prince and has been trying to nab him for years," a source told The Sun. "The fact it's been tied up so quickly is a big, but welcome, shock."
Rockers U2 were forced to pull out of their first-ever appearance at Glastonbury earlier this year after frontman Bono injured his back. Cartoon-led pop band Gorillaz stepped in to replace the band as headliners at the last minute.
