Usher's Winter Arc
When Usher first embarked on The R&B Tour nearly six months ago, he emerged looking more lithe than I had seen him in a very long time. As fellow tour performer Tank mentioned in a recent interview, Usher shed a considerable amount of weight in preparation for the stadium tour, given its physically demanding nature. By August, when I saw him, he appeared to have regained the ripped physique that defined his mid-2000s peak, only this time with even more muscle mass. It's an impressive feat for a man approaching 50. He was also impeccably groomed, sporting a clean goatee that accentuated his defined jawline.
Following an unexpected three-week break and a birthday vacation in Costa Rica, Usher returned to the stage with just eight shows remaining and a noticeably beefier physique. It's a perfect demonstration of how sexy a little grown-man weight can look when it settles in all the right places. His shoulders, arms, and chest have filled out considerably, while he's managed to maintain definition in his abs. I've always been enamored with Usher's pecs, and there's something particularly appealing about how much fuller they've become over the course of this tour. It's almost as though if you sucked on those Hershey's Kiss nipples, chocolate milk would come out. LOL.
In keeping with the manlier aesthetic, he's also grown out his beard. Perhaps he's participating in No Shave November, but the fuller facial hair is a welcome change of pace. It also brings to mind his scruffier appearance in the Confessions Part II music video. I love a man whose beard connects!
This tour has been QUITE the journey (and I don't need to get into all of that here). Still, it's been remarkable watching this man put his body through its paces over the past five years, particularly as he navigates his middle age. We're almost at the finish line of this historic tour, and I think this sexy man deserves a round of applause, followed by some well-earned rest, for all the incredible moments he's given us.
