Usher visits London youth club

Usher took time out from his busy tour schedule and dropped in to a London youth club to talk about the dangers of knife crime. 

He turned up at Fulham's Brunswick Club for Young People to discuss pressing issues that trouble bigger cities and rewarded the workshop's participants with tickets to his gig at the O2 Arena. 

Speaking to The Standard about his New Look Foundation, the 'In This Club' star explained:

"This is one of many workshops I hope to hold and an opportunity to introduce the kids here to our programme. We spoke about teenage pregnancy, gang violence, incarceration, isolation - and one very specific thing was knife crime. It's something the kids kept bringing up and obviously it's a huge issue here."

He tweeted on February 20:

"inspirational youth training session in London yesterday w/ @PowerByService - bringing new look to London! #dosomethingpositivetoday"
