The 38-year-old singer shared a post on Instagram Monday explaining why he did not perform in Manchester despite being announced as part of the star-studded lineup.

So happy to see that last nights concert in Manchester proved that love always prevails, he captioned a photo of the stage. I would have loved to be there but it was my sons first day at Camp Kudzu, one of the few summer camps for kids living with diabetes. This was an important day for him and for myself as a proud father.

He concluded his message, Stay strong UK.

The Voicealum has previously spoken out about his 9-year-old son Usher V(aka Cinco)s struggle withtype 1 diabetes and used his platform to advocate fora cure for the disease, which prevents the body from producing insulin.

Achild that every day has to prick himself and has to be cautious of what he eats and also to carry this disorder around that really is the type of bravery that we all aspire to have, Usher told PEOPLE at the 2015JDRFs Promise Ball, which aimed to raise awareness and moneyfor research and a cure.

While hes inspired by his son (with ex Tameka Foster), the I Dont Mind singer says its been hard on him too.

Theres been some difficult moments, he said, but having dealt with it on a daily basis, I have a great deal of understanding of what people have to deal with. Its personal.
