Sorry, Europe: Usher needs to reschedule your dates.

Live Nation Global Touring announced Wednesday that the "Usher Euphoria Tour" in Europe will be pushed back to the fall of 2013.

In a statement posted on his website, Usher explained he needed to "take this time to focus on my children and continue to evolve with my fans."

"The feeling of euphoria that I get when performing for you is indescribable," the new Voice coach added. "I love each and every one of you and thank you for being there every step of the way."

Last month, following a nasty custody battle, Usher was awarded primary custody of his and Tameka Foster's two sons: Usher Raymond V, 4, and Naviyd Raymond, 3.

Usher's rescheduled "Euphoria" tour dates will be announced next year.
