John Legend unveils worldwide tour

By Alex Young on November 13th, 2008

Just weeks after the release of his brand new studio album, Evolver, John Legend will embark on an extensive worldwide tour that will see the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter bring the guest-heavy, R&B-friendly sounds of his 13-track effort to folks up close and personal.

While album guests Kanye West and André 3000 unfortunately won’t be lending their vocals in person during the five-month trek, which consists of two separate North American legs along with a number of dates across Europe, Estelle, who appeared on the song, “No Other Love”, and Raphael Saadiq will; both have been tapped to serve as support.

Add this to an upcoming scheduled performance on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and a duet with Stephen Colbert for his Christmas episode and Legend sure doesn’t appear to be skimping on the live performance front. Then again, with a name like John Legend, we wouldn’t expect anything less.

Tickets to many North American shows are currently available via ticketmaster.com.

“No Other Love” (feat. Estelle)
