Last week, Usher kicked off his eagerly anticipated "Past Present Future" tour with an unforgettable performance in Washington, D.C. Originally scheduled to begin earlier this month, the tour was pushed back after the hitmaker suffered a neck injury during rehearsals. Luckily, it looks like he had a speedy recovery, and wasted no time getting back to giving fans what they love.
While Usher has already impressed countless supporters with his tour, he himself recently became starstruck onstage after spotting none other than Free Marie Wright in the crowd. In a clip from his recent stop in Boston, he's seen putting the show on hold to give her a shoutout. “Hold on, hold on, hold on. Is that Free I see?" he asked, looking shocked. He then stepped down to greet her, putting his appreciation for the former 106 & Park host on full display.
Usher Stops Show To Give Free A Shoutout
Free shared a clip of the wholesome moment on Instagram today, thanking the city and praising Usher for the show. “About last night .@usher gave the kid so much love in the hometown! ♥️ fur and the GRILLS 🤣🤣! Beantown I LOVE you back infinity 🙋🏽♀️💚 Thank YOU and Goodnight," she captioned the post. As expected, fans in The Shade Room's comments section are commending Usher for giving Free the shoutout she deserves. "FREE is a legend and nobody matches what her and AJ did for music culture on 106," one Instagram user writes. "She’s a living legend !!!" another notes.
Fans certainly can't blame Usher for doing a double-take, and loved to see him giving Free her flowers.
