Usher Falls Ill, Misses Final Week in “Chicago”

Email this article Print this article Send us a tip

Usher, who has been playing in the production since August 22, missed several shows Friday through Monday last week (Oct. 2 to Oct. 6). right Fans who lined the streets near the Ambassador Theater each night demanded refunds after discovering his understudy would be performing. Usher’s doctor allegedly ordered him to be on bed rest the remainder of the week - Wednesdays are his nights off anyway. The singer was originally scheduled to perform through October 1, but extended his run until October 14, which is also his birthday. Chicago has been sold-out for weeks and Usher is reportedly the highest paid to play the role of "Billy" in Chicago of all time. No word on whether he'll make up the sick days or if he will extend his run again.
