Grammy-winning singer/pianist John Legend will launch a North American tour in April as he continues to expand upon the success of last year’s “Once Again.”The singer will kick off his trek April 3 in Irvine, CA, and cover 22 cities in just over a month, ending with a May 5 slot at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Details are included below.
Grammy-nominated singer Corinne Bailey Rae will accompany the tour as Legend’s special guest.
“Once Again,” released last October, entered The Billboard 200 album chart at No. 3, selling more than 231,000 copies during its first week on store shelves, according to Legend’s publicist. The album peaked at No. 1 on the R&B Album chart and earned Legend two Grammy nominations: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (for “Save Room”) and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance (for “Heaven”).
Legend has already won three Grammy awards from his 2004 debut album, “Get Lifted,” which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide, according to a press release.
