The road has gotten a little bumpier for Usher and Chris Brown’s joint R&B Tour. The singers have canceled two more scheduled performances, adding to a growing list of dates that fans will no longer get to see.
According to reports first spotted by TMZ, the concert scheduled for Monday, November 16, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, has been called off. Their December 6 performance at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami has also been canceled.

Ticketmaster has not provided a specific explanation for either cancellation. However, the ticket retailer informed customers that refunds would be issued to the original payment method used to purchase their tickets.
For now, the rest of the tour appears to be moving forward. Upcoming stops in Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston and Tampa have not been announced as canceled.
This is not the first time fans have received disappointing news about the tour. In October, organizers pulled the plug on performances scheduled for Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbia, South Carolina, and Indianapolis.
At the time, the promoter pointed to the physical demands of putting on a large-scale stadium tour as the reason for the changes. A statement explained that the decision was made to protect the health and well-being of the touring party and crew after an extensive run of sold-out shows.
The statement added that adjusting the schedule would allow the remaining performances to continue safely. It is unclear whether that same explanation applies to the newly canceled Los Angeles and Miami dates.

The latest announcement also arrives as speculation about a possible disagreement between the two R&B stars continues to circulate online.
Rumors picked up after their Atlanta residency kicked off on November 5. According to TMZ, sources claimed the singers had a verbal disagreement backstage over whether to delay the show because of heavy traffic around Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Usher reportedly wanted the performance to begin as scheduled, while Brown allegedly wanted to give fans more time to get inside. The concert eventually started approximately two and a half hours late.

Brown appeared to address the reports through his Instagram Story, dismissing the headlines with a brief message: “Internet [cap emoji]. Don’t fall for it.”
The speculation has continued, but neither singer has publicly confirmed that there is a personal dispute between them.

Brown has also faced legal matters in the United Kingdom following his guilty plea to affray in connection with an attack at a nightclub. He received an eight-month prison sentence, which was suspended for 12 months.
With more dates disappearing from the schedule, fans are left wondering whether the remaining shows will go on as planned. For now, the tour is still expected to continue, despite the growing questions surrounding the cancellations.
