DID USHER USE A STUNT DOUBLE? | BACKSTAGE BANTER #030

Backstage Banter Episode #030 Was that actually Usher on stage… or did we just witness one of the strangest concert controversies of 2026? Backstage Banter is back for Episode 30, and this week Chris and Brett dive into the bizarre internet speculation surrounding an Usher concert where fans reckon a stunt double/lookalike may have performed in his place. Was Usher running late? Is there an emergency Usher waiting backstage at all times? Or has one of the biggest performers in the world discovered the ultimate touring life hack? We also unpack the internet music-nerd battle between Anthony Fantano and The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas, including claims surrounding The Strokes' PR campaign and whether content creators are being encouraged to push back against Fantano. Plus, we take a retrospective look at a so-called "classic" album, dive into some of our favourite new music and deliver another week of questionable opinions from studio bAAAnter. Was that really Usher? And whose side are you taking: Fantano or Casablancas?
