Usher has added a 10th night at the O2 Arena in London on March 29 as part of the UK and European leg of his Past Present Future Tour.

The Confessions singer was initially scheduled to play three gigs at The O2 on April 1, 2 and 5. He then announced three extra London dates for April 6, 8 and 9 as well as a seventh date for April 11 due to “incredible fan demand”. This was once again extended and further shows are planned for May 6 and 7.

Speaking of the new dates, Usher said: “Y’all not playing games! “I’ve added a tenth and final show in London due to incredible demand. “

Aside from his eight-night residency at La Seine Musicale in Paris last year, these will be his first European shows since the 2015 UR Tour.

The singer announced the American leg of the tour in the days leading up to his Super Bowl half-time show and many dates have already sold out.

The tour, produced by Live Nation, will celebrate his past three decades in the industry and will include songs from his latest release.

Usher released his debut, self-titled album in 1994 and followed it up with 1997’s My Way and 2001’s 8701, which both reached the top five in the US charts.

However, the singer cemented his position in the music world with his 2004 record, Confessions, which soared to number one on both sides of the Atlantic and featured some of his biggest hits including Yeah!, Burn and Confessions Part II.

The R&B star, who has served as a coach on the US version of The Voice, has had four chart-topping tracks in the UK singles chart with songs including OMG featuring Will.i.am.

In recent months he also finished a residency in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the new concert dates go on general sale at 10am GMT on Monday March 22.
