'I had no idea black artists were celebrated like this' - Usher moved by iconic Dublin statue

Usher's residency at London's O2 Arena as part of his 'Past, Present and Future' tour has been a resounding success, showcasing his impressive performances to sold-out audiences. As he reflects on his experiences, he highlights the respect for black culture he observes abroad, especially during his visit to an iconic statue of Phil Lynott in Ireland. His appreciation for cultural recognition extends beyond performances, expressing a desire for similar tributes to black artists in the U.S.

Outside of America, there is much more respect for black culture.

I just love the statue of Phil Lynott, from Thin Lizzy... It was amazing. I'd like to see more things like that in America, specifically artists.
