Usher Goes Skydiving in Dubai

Usher is ready to take that dive. Taking a page from his hit song, the R&B crooner faced his fears and went skydiving over Dubai’s Palm Islands over the weekend. He strapped on his parachute and red kicks and was lifted thousands of feet into the air before jumping out of the plane, photographing his descent over the ocean.

“Yep…I’m doin it!! SkyDiving…Here we go!!” tweeted Ursh, who was in town to perform at the World Parachuting Championships.

His song “Climax” was named the top song of 2012 by TIME magazine and landed a nomination for Best R&B Performance at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.
