R&B sensation Usher has voiced his disappointment following the cancellation of the highly anticipated Lovers & Friends Festival 2024 in Las Vegas. Scheduled to headline the one-day music extravaganza, Usher took to social media to share his sentiments with fans who were eagerly awaiting the event.
In a heartfelt message posted on X (formerly Twitter), Usher expressed his regret over the turn of events, emphasizing his commitment to the safety and well-being of everyone involved. Despite the setback, he reassured fans that he is continuously working on projects to show his appreciation for their unwavering support.
The festival, which boasted a star-studded lineup including Janet Jackson, Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Nas, Alicia Keys, and more, was called off less than 15 hours before its scheduled commencement due to dangerous weather conditions. Organizers cited a high wind warning issued by the National Weather Service as the reason for the cancellation, prioritizing the safety of attendees, artists, and staff.
While acknowledging the disappointment felt by fans who had traveled far and wide for the event, organizers assured ticket holders of refunds and expressed their own disappointment at having to make such a difficult decision.
Despite the setback, the spirit of the festival lives on, with hopes high for a future edition that will bring fans and artists together to celebrate the power of music.
