This is a busy week for Usher. First the R&B and pop star announced the schedule for his "Past Present Future Tour," including multiple shows in Illinois. Then he released his new album, "Coming Home." To cap it all off, he performs on Sunday during halftime of the Super Bowl.

Fans haven't had a chance to see the multi-Grammy-winning singer on tour since 2014-15. The "Past Present Future Tour" concludes with concerts at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Oct. 25-26 and three shows at the United Center in Chicago on Oct. 28, 29 and 31.
