Usher Goes Shirtless at Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100

Usher takes the stage shirtless for a performance at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 concert held at FNB Stadium on Sunday (December 2) in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The 40-year-old singer was joined by fellow performers Pharrell Williams, Chris Martin, and Kacey Musgraves.

Also taking the stage were Naomi Campbell, Danai Gurira, Gayle King, Tyler Perry, and Sean Parker.

The Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 event was a charity concert held in honor of 100 years since Nelson Mandela was born, and helped raise funds and bring attention to end extreme poverty.

Earlier in the weekend, Chris and his band Coldplay released a new EP under the name Los Unidades, featuring four brand new tracks with Pharrell, Stormzy and David Guetta as well as Stargate, Cassper Nyovest, Jozzy, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage. Proceeds go towards Global Citizen‘s efforts to end extreme poverty as well as improve issues such as gender equality, education, water and sanitation across the world
