Usher enjoyed quite the weekend during his “My Way” residency in Vegas.
The residency, which is in celebration of the R&B superstar’s critically acclaimed sophomore album “My Way’s” 25th year anniversary, has been going strong at Dolby Live at Park MGM since July 15.
Over the weekend, Usher enjoyed a racy moment on stage with actress Taraji P Henson during his performance at the residency.
He was also joined on stage by special guest Snoop Dogg, which sent the place into pandemonium.
With all the shows in the current run at the 5 200 capacity venue sold-out, Usher has taken to social media to announce a string of new dates (25 to be exact) that will kick off on March 3, 2023 and run through July 15, 2023.
“I'm adding new shows to my Vegas residency March - July 2023 at Dolby Live at Park MGM,” he shared on Twitter. “Tix go on sale this Friday at 10 AM PT.
“Fan presale starts Wednesday at 10AM PT. Watch my socials 99 or text (404) 737-1821 and I'll hit you with the presale code. Ticketmaster.com/USHERVEGAS”
