Usher to perform at Oklahoma tornado fundraiser

Usher will lend his support to the Oklahoma relief efforts by performing at a special fundraising event.

The US state was recently flattened by the natural disaster, with 24 people losing their lives and 12,000 houses ruined.

The Voice US coach Blake Shelton, who was born in Oklahoma, has organised a fundraiser gig due to take place on Wednesday (May 29) at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

Usher has now been confirmed to perform at the event, alongside Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker, Reba McEntire, Luke Bryan, Vince Gill, Rascall Flatts and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic.

Money made from the concert will go to United Way of Central Oklahoma's May Tornadoes Relief Fund.
