Soul star touring behind Grammy-winning album Bigger Love
CARMEL, Ind. – EGOT-winning R&B singer-songwriter John Legend is back on the road and will make his Center for the Performing Arts debut in October.
John Legend is one of only 16 artists to have won the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.
Legend’s Bigger Love Tour, previously delayed by the pandemic, will hit the Palladium at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20. Tickets starting at $96 will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 6, at the Palladium Box Office, online at TheCenterPresents.org and by phone at (317) 843-3800. The event is part of the Center’s 2021-22 Center Presents Season sponsored by Allied Solutions.
The tour supports Legend’s 2020 album Bigger Love, which claimed Best R&B Album honors at this year’s Grammy Awards.
One of the most versatile talents in American entertainment, Legend landed three Grammys with his 2004 debut album, Get Lifted, and has since distinguished himself as a singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and film producer. He received a 2018 Emmy nomination for his lead role in NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar and won the award as a producer of the show, becoming one of just 16 people and the first Black man to claim all four of the major American entertainment awards: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. In 2019, Legend joined NBC’s The Voice as a coach and was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.
