Usher Tickets

Usher's upcoming tour may be titled "One Night Stand: Ladies Only," but dont take it literally, because men are more than welcome as well!

So, why did Usher decide to make it all about the ladies? "I feel like I've had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women?" Usher said.

The tour is scheduled to begin on November 2 in Atlantic City, N.J., and runs through November 25 when it will end in Dallas, Texas. The 14-day tour is in support of Usher's latest album, "Here I Stand." A video for new single "Trading Places" also premiered last week.

In just 15 years, Usher Raymond IV, known my most as simply "Usher," has become a household name. In his short span from the time he was discovered on StarSearch to the present, he has sold around 30 million albums worldwide and has won five Grammy Awards.

Before he made his way to StarSearch, Usher was busy performing in the choir at his mothers church, St. Elmo Missionary Baptist Church, in Tennessee.

In addition to being his biggest fan, his mother, Jonnetta Patton, is also his manager. For just over a year, he and his mother amicably separated (professionally); however, he re-hired her in August 2008 after ending his managing arrangement with Benny Medina. Ushers latest album sales were not as high as projected, and that is rumored to be one of the reasons Patton was re-hired.

Apart from the music scene, he is a married father of one. He and his wife, Tameka Foster, recently announced that they are expecting their second child together. In addition to performing, Usher is a part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He also has his own record label, US Records.

On September 13, 2008 Usher was inducted into the All-time Hot 100 Artist by the Billboard Hot 100.
