The Wax Figure Has The Details On LOCK!
The figure draws heavily from Usher’s My Way Las Vegas residency. He donated his Vanson skeleton biker jacket for the display, while the figure is also styled in roller skates and wears jewelry inspired by Usher’s signature look, including the Ice Box “U” pendant chain he wore to the unveiling. According to Madame Tussauds, the figure took nine months to create, with 20 studio artists contributing to the process.
“I’m blown away,” Usher said. He added that he hopes fans who didn’t get the chance to attend his Vegas residency can experience “a little glimpse of the magic” from the show through the figure.
