A house RESOLUTION

 

to recognize and honor artists Usher Raymond and Chris Brown for their musical careers and to welcome them to Columbia and to the Palmetto State for their performance at WilLiams-Brice Stadium.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Usher and Chris Brown will co-headline The R&B Tour event on October 29, 2026, at Williams-Brice Stadium; and

 

Whereas, Usher and Chris Brown began a tour of stadiums across North America this summer with The R&B Tour, a massive run that kicked off Friday, June 26, at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver and will close on Friday, December 11, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Scheduled stops include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, and Las Vegas; and

 

Whereas, both artists are celebrating recent record-breaking accomplishments: Usher's Past, Present, Future tour sold over 1.1 million tickets across sixty-two sold-out shows in North America and Europe, while Chris Brown's Breezy Bowl XX World Tour, which celebrated twenty years in music, became the highest-grossing tour ever by a solo Black American male artist, earning nearly three hundred million dollars and drawing two million fans worldwide; and
