Usher, Chris Brown announce joint tour while riding motorcycles: Details
Chris Brown and Usher are joining forces and taking their show on the road.
The two artists announced a joint tour on Friday, dubbed the R&B Tour, a reference to their last names, Raymond -- Usher's full name is Usher Raymond IV -- and Brown.
In a video posted to Instagram, both singers are seen hopping on motorcycles in their respective parts of town and speeding through the city streets. Along the way, fans receive notifications on their phones about the tour and take off running.
Usher and Brown eventually meet in a parking lot, remove their helmets, walk into a venue and step into an elevator.
"It's time," Usher says, to which Brown responds, "Hell, yeah."
The video ends with the elevator doors opening and the pair walking onstage to loud applause.
Dates and cities for the tour have not been announced.
Brown and Usher previously collaborated on the songs "New Flame" and "Party."
Usher also appeared on a remix of Brown's "It Depends" and joined him as a surprise guest during his Breezy Bowl XX concert in Atlanta in October.
"This [is] my m------------ brother for life. I'm so happy to be sharing the same stage with him," Brown said of Usher at the time.
"I know me and [Bow Wow], earlier, we came up young. We came up looking at him, Michael Jackson, a couple other people. Ain't too many people f------ with Usher," he continued. "I'm just being real -- he's the greatest. My brother, I appreciate you."
The tour news arrives with the release of Brown's new single, "Obvious."
"It's OBVIOUS I'm tryna start the summer up!" Brown wrote in the caption of an Instagram post Friday.
Brown's next album, simply titled "Brown," will arrive May 8, according to the singer.
