John Legend extends 'Evolver' tour into early fall
John Legend 's forthcoming summer trek continues to expand, with the soul man adding a heap of new dates to the tour, which backs his latest studio album, "Evolver."
The new dates on the outing, which gets underway June 27 in Muskegon, MI, come mostly at the tail end of the tour's current configuration, with several new shows on the West Coast, including appearances in San Diego (9/16) and Las Vegas (6/18), as well as a few concerts in the Midwest and Texas. With the additions, the number of cities Legend will visit on the trek has swelled to more than 50. Details are included below.
The Grammy winner's third studio album, "Evolver," debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart last October. "Green Light," the record's first single, features special guest Andre 3000 on the album, though Legend performed the song at this year's Super Bowl XLIII with T-Pain.
Legend made Time magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people of 2009, released earlier this year.
"He is a genius, and we've seen only the tip of the iceberg," legendary producer Quincy Jones wrote in the publication. "For all that he has already achieved in his career, it is going to be fun watching where he goes from here."
Jones and Legend recently collaborated on single "Tomorrow," which will be included on Jones' forthcoming tribute album.
