As  reported yesterday the incident that occurred at the singer’s home where his young son Usher Raymond V nearly drowned after getting his arm caught in the pool’s drain.

In a statement released last night the trading places star said: "I am blessed and fortunate to say that my son Usher V is doing well and is recovering."

"I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, love and support for my family's well-being. I would like to thank my Aunt Rena as well as the doctors and nurses who are working with us around the clock."

Usher, who was not home when the accident happened, also thanked the nearby workmen who saved his son’s life by performing CPR.

The star continued: "I would especially like to thank the two men who saved my son's life, Eugene Stachurski and Ben Crews. They are true heroes and I am deeply grateful to them."
