Usher invited a surprise guest to join him onstage for the second night of his sold-out London residency.
Legendary supermodel Naomi Campbell, 54, wowed the crowd at the O2 Arena when she made her entrance wearing a sleek and sparkling halter minidress. She kept her catwalk-ready look simple but striking, with long dark hair and minimal jewelry. Meanwhile, Usher, 46, rocked a massive fur coat as he performed his song “Bad Girl” from the 2004 album Confessions.
Usher – whose real name is Usher Raymond IV – and Campbell were romantically linked in the early 2000s. He later denied they were ever a couple, calling her “a great friend of mine who I think is a great person” (via British Vogue).
Usher kicked off his 2025 Past Present Future tour in London on March 29
The Grammy-winning R&B star kicked off a string of 10 shows in the U.K.’s capital on March 29. It was his first concert in the city in a decade.
“London, you look so beautiful tonight,” he told the hyped-up audience of 20,000 on April 1, according to the Daily Mirror. “Fellas they got us outnumbered! It has been a long time coming, it’s been 10 years, and for every year I’ve been away I decided to do one show, that’s how much I’ve missed you.”
“This is the United Kingdom of Usher right now!” he added.
In addition to his London gigs, Usher’s Past Present Future tour will take him to Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and Abu Dhabi. He’s also set to perform in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as part of the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after-race concert series.
Usher’s latest tour began in 2024 with a string of dates at arenas across North America. Ticket sales from the 54 concerts totaled more than $120.8 million, according to industry website Pollstar.
