Usher returns to a rough on-stage moment in his video for "Numb."

The R&B star's latest opens with footage of Usher [1] at the O2 Arena in Berlin from 2011, when an illness caused him to cut his set short and leave the stage. Juxtaposed against stormy skies, the scene gives way to a tightly edited video cutting between scenes of himself at a hospital bedside and dance moves delivered from inside a glass box. He shows no signs of sickness as he works through the complex choreography, which ends with a forceful escape.

The "Looking 4 Myself" dance track is the latest song to get a video, following "Scream" and "Climax."

Usher will be hitting the road again next year, announcing in September that a slate of early 2013 European dates would be pushed back so he could spend time with his children, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond. He'll also fill his spring with a coaching slot on "The Voice" -- he'll join the show with Shakira as Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green take time away from the reality competition.
