Usher has canceled his upcoming Australia tour scheduled for November and December. The 46-year-old had planned to bring his globetrotting Past Present Future tour Down Under for 12 shows - six at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena and six at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. However, fans were left heartbroken on Friday to find an email from Ticketek announcing the string of shows Down Under would not go ahead, with no explanation why. 'The promoter of USHER's Australian Tour regrets to advise that the scheduled November/December shows, will no longer be proceeding,' the email read. 'All purchased tickets will receive a full refund.' The tour would have been Usher's first headlining tour Down Under in more than a decade. His last headlining run was back in 2011, on his OMG tour. The singer was last in the country back in 2018, performing alongside the likes of Salt-N-Pepa, T-Pain and Naughty By Nature for the RNB Fridays Live tour. Daily Mail Australia has contacted promoter Live Nation for comment.

Karl Stefanovic, 50, flaunts shock body transformation and ripped biceps during intense workout: 'Look at those guns'
Karl Stefanovic shocked fans on Friday when he showed off his insanely ripped arms with a wild body transformation. The Today host, 50, shared a video to Instagram which showed him working out in the gym with his personal trainer Mark Glanville and friend Peter Oreb. The media personality, who recently unveiled his weight loss journey, stunned as he performed push-up exercises while his biceps rippled beneath an orange tank top. 'There's something not quite right about my trainer,' Karl captioned the video, which saw his trainer dancing while the TV star worked up a sweat. Fans of the breakfast show host flocked to the comments to praise Karl's physique, paying particular attention to his arms. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Look at those guns. They are illegal here in Oz,' one person joked. 'Just quietly your arms are looking good mate,' said another. A third commented, 'Arms are looking good,' while someone else added: 'F*** how's the cannons on the big fella.' It comes after Karl was the talk of Justin Hemmes' Silver Party in May. Fellow attendees thought the TV anchor was 'looking the best he's looked in years'. 'He didn't appear to be drinking and was being judicious with the canapés,' a source told Daily Mail Australia. Karl's new look comes after he revealed the moment he was told he needed to hit the gym by best mate James Packer. Appearing on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in November, he said he was left humbled after a picture of him revealing his 'dad bod' on the beach led the billionaire businessman to text him. 'There's a shot of me on Christmas Day or whatever coming out of the surf, and it was bad,' Karl told hosts Jackie 'O' Henderson and Kyle Sandilands. 'James Packer sends me a note that says, "Mate, you need to get your a*** to the gym."' James, 57, himself recently revealed he was still gaining weight despite admitting to being on Ozempic. 'If you're getting notes from Packer about that, you know it's serious,' Kyle, 54, said. The photo in question was snapped in Byron Bay over the summer in 2019 when Karl was enjoying some downtime with Jasmine. Karl even shared the photo to Instagram, joking with followers that he was pregnant. 'After a great deal of speculation... the rumours are true,' Karl captioned the cheeky post. Jackie, 50, then asked Karl how he dealt with seeing such 'confronting images', and he said while he was embarrassed, Jasmine had always been very supportive. 'I feel like it's a lot of embarrassment, but then my wife is always so good about it,' Karl said. Back in 2020, Karl pledged to lose 10 kilograms in 10 weeks on the Today show after tipping the scales at over 100kg. 'I started at 105kg, the heaviest I've ever been. It was incredibly embarrassing,' Karl said as he spoke to obesity expert Dr Nick Fuller, who helped him on his fitness journey.

The look of love! NRL star Bradman Best and his glamorous partner Kayla return from holiday on Hamilton Island as they prepare for parenthood
NRL star Bradman Best and his partner Kayla Fenech have returned from a Hamilton Island getaway as they prepare for parenthood. Best, 23, was spotted with the daughter of Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech looking very much in love as they arrived in Sydney. The representative centre can put his feet up this weekend, as the Knights have a bye in the NRL. It comes as Fenech - dubbed the 'Marrickville Mauler' can't wait to be a grandfather.

The couple recently announced they are expecting a baby in 2026 on Instagram. 'Baby Best due in January 2026. We can't wait,' Kayla wrote on the social media platform.

Whether it's a boy or a girl, the baby is going to have some great genes. 'And they'll be great parents. I love Kayla and Bradman is a great fella who will make a great dad.' Fenech said he initially went 'apes***' when he found out his daughter was dating a footy player. 'I'd always warned my girls about going out with league players,' he had previously said. He added: 'So when she rang and told me, I went off the deep end. I gave her a roasting. She kept trying to say, 'Dad, he's a lovely guy'. Kayla was telling me every day how nice he was. 'Bradman knew I was angry, but he told Kayla, 'I'll prove your dad wrong' - and he (certainly) has.' Kayla has over 200,000 followers on Instagram and works as a business development manager for Ray White. Kayla held the ultrasound and a tiny pair of Nike trainers as she announced she and Best are expecting a baby in January Fenech stated he was 'so proud' of the pair, having also previously revealed that he and Best had gone down to the gym to train together After announcing the big news on Instagram, the pair received a heartfelt reception from many of their close friends and family. Her mother Suzee wrote in the comments: 'Omg I'm so proud of you both, can't wait to meet my gorgeous little bubba. 'Super excited to be on this next chapter/journey with you both. Luv u both.'
