Usher sent his fans wild on Sunday night, as he brought out yet another surprise celebrity guest during his fifth show at London’s O2 Arena.
The R&B star, 46, is halfway through his string of 10 sold-out shows in the capital as he comes to the end of his mammoth Past Present and Future tour.
But rather than winding down, the singer has been pulling out the stops night after night, with his latest gig proving no exception as he invited Estelle to join him onstage.
The British singer and rapper, 45, stepped out to cheers from the audience, looking radiant in a iridescent silver shirt and matching flares.
She swept her braids up into an elegant bun and draped a huge fur coat over her shoulders to matching with Usher, who went shirtless under his.
Estelle then belted out her international hit song American Boy, which she released 17 years ago, and became her most successful single.

The track was a UK number one and featured Kanye West, winning the pair the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in 2009.
It marks the latest VIP surprise from Usher at his London gigs, after he previously brought out Naomi Campbell and Craig David.
The supermodel appeared at his show on Tuesday, putting on a very leggy display in a dazzling minidress and strutting down the stage while Usher belted out his hits.
While fellow R&B star Craig delighted fans as he stepped out to sing his hit Fill Me In, before joining Usher for a special duet of his famous song 7 Days.
Usher will be playing at the O2 for five more nights, before heading to Paris, Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam and Berlin, before arriving back in London to close out his staggering on May 7.
The singer – whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV – has been wowing crowds of around 200,000 people every night with his hits like Yeah, Burn, U Remind Me and OMG.
He’s been showing off his incredible falsetto and enviable dancing skills, with him even donning roller skates during the shows and demonstrating an impeccable moonwalk and handstand.
The hitmaker has also sparked attention on social media for treating some female fans to more up close and personal meetings and seductively hand-feeding them cocktail cherries.

Usher’s pop career is heading into its fourth decade with a head of steam, after the star performed at the Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024 and enjoyed a popular Las Vegas residency last year.
He also wowed US fans with a successful tour of the States but was forced to reschedule his Miami concerts after Florida declared a ‘state of emergency’ amid Hurricane Milton in October.
Though many praised Usher’s commitment to safety for his fans and tour crew, others criticised the decision and voiced frustration over the new dates.
Usher kicked off his Past Present Future tour in August. It marked his sixth headlining concert tour.
The 78-date run has seen him travel across the United States and Europe and will come to a close in May after his final two back-to-back shows at The O2.
The Past Present Future tour has been in support of Usher’s ninth studio album Coming Home. It was released in February 2024 – two days before he headlined the halftime show in Las Vegas.
It features 20 tracks and collaborations with the likes of 21 Savage, Summer Walker and Latto.
