Ashanti, Toni Braxton and Donny Osmond are among the stars who have reached out to Usher after his young stepson was declared brain dead by doctors following a jet-ski accident on Saturday (07Jul12).
Kyle Glover, the 11-year-old son of the singer's ex-wife Tameka Foster, was sitting on an inflatable raft which collided with the watercraft on Lake Lanier in Atlanta, Georgia.
