Usher’s Wife Suffers Serious Injury

It turns out it wasn’t just Chris Brown and Rihanna that had to pull out of last night’s Grammy Awards; Usher, who was scheduled to appear at the show, had to cancel due to ‘a serious injury in the family’, which has since been reported to involve wife Tameka. Peep the report below via People.com:

Usher’s wife Tameka Foster Raymond has suffered a serious injury due to complications from plastic surgery in Brazil, reports Access Hollywood.

On Saturday night, Usher canceled his performance at the Recording Academy and Clive Davis’s Pre-Grammy Gala. Davis told party-goers the singer had to bow out due to a “serious injury in the family.”

On Sunday, Davis, Sony Music Worldwide’s chief creative officer, told PEOPLE. “I talked to his mom. My thoughts are with them, whatever they’re facing.” {Source}

Very unfortunate news. Here’s wishing Tameka a speedy recovery. That said, it really does pay to be very careful with these things, something made very clear with the sad circumstances surrounding the death of Kanye West’s mother a year ago.
