As the age-old adage goes: accidents happen.
Unfortunately for soulful singer Luke James, it’s a concept that manifested during (what would have been) his first night opening on Beyonce‘s ‘Mrs. Carter Show Tour’. For, while rehearsing, the New Orleans native had an accident that would force him to pull out of his Parian debut.
Visibly upset, the ‘I Want You’ crooner showed his steely resilience by battling through the pain to hit the stage the next night, without missing a step nor note.
Peep pics from his set below, where a clip from his performance also awaits. One watch and we’re sure you’ll understand why the Grammy nominee is being hailed as R&B’s most exciting prospects. Even some of the genre’s most celebrated acts are singing his praises.
See what we mean after the jump…

He is EXTREMELY talented but I truly hope that he doesn’t resurrect the cliched, R&B ‘thug’ male stereo-type; I don’t want another faux R-Kelly/Bobby Brown – PUT YO’ DAMN SHIRT ON – just stand there and sing Luke.
Anyway, as much as I can’t stand BeyTHIEFce’, it was professional of her to give him such exposure like this.
Shut Up!
You just want another f** ocean. GTFOH F*****!!
LOL.
Girl, bye.
🙂
I want Luke to win but I just want him to be himself. He looks like a million bucks sometimes his personality seems forced.
STFU B****!!!!

Go and support the DiamonÐs flopping tour. She can’t even sell out in South Africa. Justin bieber is Sold out. Rihanna’s tickets are available. Even lady gaga’s Born this way was Sold out in few days. She’s gonna cancel and I’m gonna be laughing HARD! LOL
Robin Ft T.I &Pharell>>>>
His music is perfection>>>>>>>>
Much better than ASAP Rocky I must say… He was terrible!!! I have already gone to The Diamonds World Tour and yeah… It was just ok…. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it…. it’s just that we all know Rihanna isn’t the best live performer. I do have tickets to the Mrs Carter Show World Tour and I must say it looks like it’s gonna be one hell of a show… Navy… give it up… Beyonce can put on a waaaay better show and production than Rihanna and you know it…. This is coming from a fan of both….. No shade, just stating the facts!
Interesting young fellow,I might as well check out his music
I’ll Drink To that! Yess I LIVE
HEY LUKE, GOOD LUCK WITH EUROPE…
BEYONCE PICKED A REAL SINGER, NATURAL SINGER, AMAZING SINGER…I HOPE WE GET TO SEE HIM IN THE STATES….IT WOUL DBE GREAT TO SEE HIM.
SEE YOUIN THE STATES..
Luke and jazmine should totally be a couple!!
You actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation however
I find this matter to be actually one thing that I feel I would by no means understand.
It seems too complex and very vast for me. I’m having a look forward on your subsequent post, I will attempt
to get the cling of it!
