Usher and Chris Brown Cancel Monday's SoFi Show but Keep Sunday's

The Inglewood date is the sixth of eight added R&B Tour shows to be cut, and Ticketmaster says refunds are automatic.

Usher and Chris Brown still have Sunday night at SoFi Stadium. They no longer have Monday.

The pair's Nov. 16 show in Inglewood is canceled, TMZ reported Tuesday, in a report FOX 11 Los Angeles picked up. The night before, Nov. 15, is still on the schedule. Monday was the extra night, the fourth SoFi date the R&B Tour tacked on when Live Nation expanded the run Aug. 17 and credited strong fan demand, TicketNews reported.

That expansion has mostly come undone. A Dec. 6 show at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., went down with the L.A. date, and TicketNews counted six cancellations among the eight shows that expansion added. Organizers pinned the first four, all in October, on worries about keeping the performers and the crew on the road healthy. Nobody has given a reason for this pair.

The internet has a theory anyway. TMZ's version starts backstage at the Atlanta stop earlier this month, where it says the two singers had a heated argument. The fight was over the clock, TMZ said: Usher pushed to go on as scheduled, while Brown wanted to hold for fans still stuck in traffic. TMZ said the singers still hadn't talked it out, and one source called things "still icy."

Brown waved it off in an Instagram story that's since disappeared: "Internet 🧢. Don't fall for it." The cap emoji is internet slang for a lie. FOX 11 reported that Usher hasn't said anything publicly, and TicketNews noted there's been no confirmation that any falling-out played a role in the cancellations.

The Atlanta night that started all this was already a money story. TicketNews reported that the Nov. 5 show at Mercedes-Benz Stadium began well past its advertised time, and some fans asked for refunds. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted the two headliners never shared the stage that night. So the fight TMZ describes came down to a show starting late, and that's the same complaint the fans had.

None of this means the tour is struggling at the box office. TicketNews cited Pollstar figures showing it grossed more than $280 million over its first 36 shows through Oct. 3. It's still scheduled to wrap Dec. 12 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

If you're holding Monday tickets, you don't have to do anything. Ticketmaster has the date marked canceled, according to TicketNews, and the company's refund policy says the money goes back to the original payment method once the organizer sends Ticketmaster the funds, usually within 14 to 21 days. Box-office buyers get a different deal: they choose how they're refunded in person, starting 30 days after the organizer signs off on the money. Transferred and resold tickets follow different rules, so check the cancellation email or ask whoever sold them to you.

Sunday's crowd still gets its show. Monday's crowd gets its money back, usually in two to three weeks once the organizer sends the funds.
