The 45-year-old pop star had been due to start the tour in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 14 but he called off the first concert just hours before showtime after suffering an injury in rehearsals.

He went on to axe two more dates at the city's State Farm Arena as he recovered.

However, Usher has bounced back, and he was able to get back on stage on Tuesday to start the tour at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC.

The show lasted two hours and included performances of hits such as Lovers and Friends, Confessions, Yeah!, and U Don't Have To Call.

Usher returned to the stage for a second show in the city on Wednesday and is due to perform at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland on Friday and Saturday.

He is due to take the tour to Europe in March kicking off with an eight-night residency at London's O2 Arena.

After calling off the first few shows of the tour, Usher released a statement explaining he had been told by doctors not to perform.
