Usher ‘Got A Good Laugh’ From Being Kicked In The Face

R&B superstar Usher clearly isn’t suffering from the diva syndrome. The thirty two-year-old singer was accidentally kicked by a fan during a performance at Madison Square Garden on Monday, but has announced in a recent interview that there are no sore feelings.
He said: "It’s a hazard of my job. In all my years, this is one of the most interesting experiences. It looked worse than it actually was. My audience and I got a good laugh." During the concert, Usher had invited a female fan onto the stage so he could serenade her in front of the audience of thousands. However, the over-zealous admirer tried to shuffle closer to Usher and in the process managed to hit him in the nose with the heel of her boot.
The ‘U Got It Bad’ singer showed that the knock clearly hasn’t done anything to his sense of humour, as her continued: “I got a kick out of it!"
The fan apologised extensively after the incident, and the pair hugged on stage to show that there were no hard feelings. Being the smooth talker that he is, Usher wanted to make sure that the fan felt no guilt over the incident, saying: "Wherever you are baby, don't feel bad," Usher added "No hard feelings.”
Usher is set to begin an extensive UK tour early next year, and the R&B star has also recently added another London date to his already-packed tour calendar.
