Why Usher Was MIA for the Grammys
Usher didn't show up to the scheduled performance at Clive Davis' party Saturday night, and he also had to miss the Grammys due to a family emergency.
Davis, president of Usher's J Records label, announced that the entertainer and his mother phoned earlier to cancel his rehearsal and subsequent performance at the Beverly Hilton because of a "serious illness in the family."
Reps for Usher declined to comment or elaborate on the sad news, but a source close to the 30-year-old denies rumors that his wife, Tameka Foster, 37, had died following plastic surgery.
Keep Tameka in your prayers!
UPDATE: Foster is in stable condition and Usher is with her at the hospital, according to the reps. No further details are being released.
