American singer-songwriter John Legend has just announced his huge UK tour and he’s playing a massive show in Manchester.

Legend’s most popular song ‘All Of Me’ has attained a record not many achieve, being fourteen times platinum in the US and seven times platinum in the UK respectively.

The 13-time Grammy Award-winner has certainly earned his stripes and this latest tour sees him paying homage to an album that’s just hit a remarkable milestone.

Named after his debut studio album, ‘Get Lifted 20th Anniversary Tour’ sees Legend taking it back to the very beginning of his impressive career.

Fans can expect to see John Legend in his element on the piano this year.

This album is truly timeless with hits including ‘Used to Love U’, ‘Ordinary People’, So High’ and ‘Number One’.

Since entering the music scene in 2004 he’s attained featured credits with Mary J. Blige, Andre 3000 and more music titans.

In 2017, Legend featured on Disney’s soundtrack for the live action adaptation of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ collaborating with Ariana Grande on the song of the same name.

Over in the states, the superstar has been offering his expertise for the next generation of pop stars on The Voice US, since 2019.

His last name maybe legendary but the singer himself has gained a title for himself becoming the first black male and second youngest star to achieve EGOT status.

There’s no surprise that this tour will be rusting off his trusty piano and considering this show will celebrate that unforgettable first release.

He’s not the only man with a piano coming to Manchester this year as Stevie Wonder also announced his new tour dates yesterday.
