Usher is coming back to Chattanooga.
On April 20, Usher Raymond IV will be presented with a key to the city and receive proclamations from state and local government marking 30 years of his music career, city and county officials said.
The event, “Coming Home: A Celebration of Usher,” is set to take place at McKenzie Arena and will be free to attend but will require tickets for entry. Tickets are limited to two per person and will be available online at 10 a.m. Friday at cha.city/usher.
“The city of Chattanooga provided a spark that ignited the fire in me to pursue my dreams as a singer, and I’m thankful for the support I received from so many great family members, friends and mentors so early in my journey,” Usher said in a news release Wednesday. “Thank you for the honor. I look forward to celebrating with you all.”
It’s not going to be an Usher concert, officials said Wednesday.
