(Feb. 8) - Usher was supposed to be one of the performers at music mogul Clive Davis' star-studded bash, but he had to back out for what Davis called a serious illness in his family.
Access Hollywood reports that Usher's wife, Tameka Foster Raymond, suffered an injury due to complications from plastic surgery in Brazil.

Davis made the announcement moments before Usher was slated to perform in the show. On Sunday, Davis told PEOPLE: "I talked to his mom. My thoughts are with them, whatever they?re facing."
A representative for the singer declined further comment.
The couple welcomed their second child December. Foster, 37, has three sons from a previous relationship. They've been married since August 2007.
