Usher wedding finally goes ahead

Usher is due to release a new album later this year

R&B star Usher has wed his fiancee, Tameka Foster, six days after calling off their first ceremony.

Speaking to Us magazine, the singer said: "I exchanged vows with Tameka Foster in Atlanta on Friday and we are happily married."

Their original ceremony was cancelled hours before it was due to take place amid reports pregnant Foster was taken to hospital for stress.

Usher, 28, said the re-arranged private ceremony was "quaint and intimate".

He told the magazine that Foster and the baby are "fine".

In June, the couple confirmed they were expecting their first child together. Foster has three other children from a previous marriage.

Usher, a five-time Grammy award winner, is best known for hits such as Confessions and You Make Me Wanna. He is expected to produce a new album by the end of the year.
