Usher’s absence was felt during Sunday’s One Love Manchester show, held in honor of the victims of the bombing that took place at an Ariana Grande concert last month.
Twitter users wondered about the R&B crooner’s whereabouts after he was mentioned as a performer in a press release for the charity concert.
On Monday morning, he explained on Instagram that he had to back out of the show because of parental duties.
“So happy to see that last night’s concert in Manchester proved that love always prevails,” he captioned a photo from the event. “I would have loved to be there but It was my son’s first day at Camp Kudzu, one of the few summer camps for kids living with diabetes. This was an important day for him and for myself as a proud father. Stay strong UK.”
