Backed by his full band, the multi-platinum artist’s global outing will feature a setlist celebrating the entirety of ‘Get Lifted’. The album garnered eight nominations and won three Grammy Awards at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for ‘Ordinary People’, Best R&B Album for Get Lifted, and Best New Artist.
Each night, John Legend will deliver a mix of deep cuts, fan favourites, and fresh renditions of the album’s beloved tracks like his breakout hit ‘Ordinary People’, ‘Used to Love U’, ‘Number One’ and ‘So High’. Furthermore, the live show will feature the singer’s other career-spanning hits, showcasing the musical depth and storytelling that have been hallmarks of his artistry for the past two decades.
The full-length was recorded in a variety of studios across the US from 2001-2004, with all songs written or co-written by Legend, who also served as co-producer on much of the album.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has since certified ‘Get Lifted’ as Double Platinum, with ‘Ordinary People’ also earning Double Platinum status as a single.
‘Get Lifted’ (20th Anniversary) Digital Deluxe and Deluxe 3LP Vinyl Editions featuring special guests including Tems, Killer Mike & Lil Wayne, Simi and Black Thought is OUT NOW.
