Usher has commented on him greeting the Radio 1 Big Weekend audience in Maidstone with the line "hello Manchester". He says his remark wasn't a result of a mix up of Britain's 'M' cities, but was a big up for his favourite British football team Manchester United. A few Maidstoners booed when the R&B star seemingly greeted a totally different city. If only they'd known he was referring to United, because presumably even more people would have joined them in the booing.
