Usher’s Paris residency coming to theaters as concert film
Usher is the latest chart-topping superstar set to bring his concert to the big screen.
The “Confessions” crooner’s eight-show residency in France, filmed during Paris Fashion Week at La Seine Musicale in June, is expected to play in approximately 2,000 movie theaters worldwide for a four-day run beginning Sept. 12.
Tickets for “Usher: Rendezvous in Paris” go on sale Aug. 6.
According to Tuesday’s announcement, the cinematic foray will feature hit songs such as “Yeah!,” “My Boo,” and “Love In This Club,” alongside a glimpse at Usher’s life beyond the stage.
“Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans,” the 45-year-old said in a statement. “I hope those who weren’t able to make it in person get to experience how special it was. As for those of you who were, I hope you experience the show and see what it takes to get there through a different lens.”
