John Legend Tickets Information
What should really compel anyone and everyone to get a hold of those John Legend tickets is that he's one of those special performers who's even better live than on disc. He has 5 live albums to his 2 out of the studio, for starters, and his musical career dates back to his youth as a near-prodigy on the piano - particularly in classical and gospel - in his native Springfield, Ohio. In more recent years, many sports fans, in fact, may recall having heard John Legend perform during the Super Bowl XL pregame show, the 2006 NBA All-Star Game halftime show, and the 2006 MLB All-Star Game 7th inning stretch.

In his career, John Legend has been nominated for 11 Grammy Awards and won 5: for Best R&B Album and Male Vocal Performance (for Get Lifted), for Best New Artist 20056, for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance on "Heaven" and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal on "Family Affair".

Known for his profound collaborations as well as for his own solo performances, John Legend has also recorded and performed with the likes of Lauryn Hill (playing piano on "Everything is Everything"), and Jay-Z (singing backup up "Encore"), Alicia Keyes (singing backup on "You Don't Know My Name", and the Black Eyed Peas ("Like That"), as well as other collaborations with Fort Minor, Common, Slum Village, and others. John Legend's hit song "Ordinary People", in fact, was originally written for the Black Eyed Peas, but Legend loved it so much, he opted to keep it all to himself, and good thing for us he did (no offense to the Peas).

In turn for all his contributions to already established greats, John Legend benefited from Kanye West providing the rhythm tracks on Legend's first solo demo, a recording which later evolved into his 2004 debut release Get Lifted. And did people ever! So many people got lifted, in fact, that the album went instantly Platinum. And how could it do anything less, featuring as it does such established music greats as West and Snoop Dogg?

Get Lifted also gave music lovers everywhere such singles as "Used to Love U", "So High", and "Number One". The album hit #4 in the U.S., making nearly 1.75 million sales in the U.S. and over 2.25 million worldwide.

And now, John Legend does it once again, with his "sophomore effort" as they call it, his 2nd album, Once Again. Come see the John Legend tour for this latest album and you'll be sure to hear such future classics as "P.D.A. (We Just Don't Care)", "Save Room", and "Heaven". Already topping his debut, hitting #3 in the country, this album finds John Legend going Platinum once again as well. With over 1.5 million sales globally since just the end of October 2006, there's no doubt that John Legend tickets for this latest tour will be as popular as any concert tickets this year.
