If you thought this summer was hot - well, it's about to get hotter. It has been confirmed that Usher is definitely making his way down to SA in March 2012. Usher Raymond, the legendary US music icon will kick off the “Hansa Festival of Legends” string of concerts brought to you by Big Concerts and Hansa in South Africa by making his way down to the mother city, Cape Town. He will thereafter join the Durban fans at the ICC Arena - and best of all, perform for a crowd of 35 000 people at Orlando Stadium in Soweto. Usher will join top South African music stars.
WHO'S USHER?
Usher does not need an introduction, but for those of you who may not know him, he is considered around the world to be the reigning King of R&B.

Both albums sold over 8 million copies worldwide, establishing Usher as one of the best-selling R&B artists of the 1990s.
