Grammy Award Nominated Mario
Joins the Chris Brown as Special Guest on the Chris Brown/Usher 'R&B Tour'
(New York, NY) - Grammy Award nominated Mario joins Chris Brown as special guest on the Chris
Brown/Usher "R&B Tour" produced by Live Nation. Throughout Chris Brown's sets, Mario will join him
on stage, lending his voice to a production designed to celebrate R&B's legacy as not just a genre - but as the foundation
of popular music itself.
Mario
stepped into the spotlight during a DJ break that gives way to a medley of his chart-topping hits - "Let Me Love You"
to "Just a Friend" to "Crying Out for Me."
Mario, a Baltimore native, grew up singing in church, and signed with music legend Clive Davis' J Records
and released his eponymous debut studio album in 2002, featuring his first top five R&B/pop hit "Just a Friend 2002"
- earning him two Billboard Music Awards and a GRAMMY nomination, and cementing him as one of the greatest R&B performers
of his generation.
His sophomore album "Turning
Point" produced the double-platinum, nine-week Hot 100 chart-topper "Let Me Love You," penned by Ne-Yo. He
followed that with "Go" (2007) and "D.N.A." (2009), adding Gold-certified singles "Crying Out for
Me" and "Break Up" featuring Sean Garrett and Gucci Mane to a catalog that only grew in cultural stature.
Produced by Live Nation, The "R&B Tour" unites Grammy
Award winning icons Usher and Chris Brown for a landmark stadium run across North America - a celebration of R&B's enduring
cultural impact, featuring an innovative co-headlining format across more than 50 dates through December 2026. The tour is
partnering with Global Citizen to support access to education worldwide, with $1 from every ticket sold benefiting the FIFA
Global Citizen Education Fund. The "R&B Tour" will continue its North American run with upcoming stops in Minneapolis,
Detroit, Washington D.C., Charlotte, Nashville, and beyond through December 2026.
