John
Legend returns to Malaysia for his first ever concert at Resorts World Genting
Get ready for an intimate
and outstanding performance by the Grammy Award Singer at his only Malaysia
tour themed Darkness and Light
Fans of John Legend will be
ecstatic to know that the 10-time Grammy award-winning hit maker will be
performing at the Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting on 17th
March 2018, 8.30pm.
This
will be the only Malaysian stop on his Darkness and Light tour, which began in
May 2017 and has covered North America, Europe and South Africa before arriving
in Asia for a 10-date leg. The upcoming concert will be Legend’s third time in
Malaysia, rekindling fond memories of food, culture and his rapturous Malaysian
fans.
Supporting
his fifth album Darkness and Light, Legend will play at Resorts World Genting
with a band that includes a second keyboardist, a guitar and bass, three horns,
a drummer, a percussionist and three supporting vocalists.
The setlist will
remain a surprise; Legend changes up the songs for each show, but expect to
hear the title track of Darkness and Light, as well as lead single ‘Love Me
Now’, along with some surprise covers, his breakout hit ‘Used to Love U’ and
enduring hit ‘All of Me’.
Deeper cuts from Darkness and Light will also get the
spotlight, the first album Legend made after his marriage to Chrissy Teigen and
the birth of his daughter Luna, with producer Blake Mills eliciting a
different, introspective side of Legend.
Wife and daughter will be travelling
with him on the tour, providing inspiration at close range as he sings of love,
life and universal truths.
All
of this will be translated live in Legend’s signature energetic performances,
belting out soulful tunes while playing the piano on stage.
To see and hear
Legend on stage is to see a man inspired by the legends that came before him,
including Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone and Nat King Cole. There is also
one central figure in his life that is not well known, but may be his most
important influence so far – his maternal grandmother Elmira Lloyd, who taught
him to play gospel piano when he was a child.
After
the tour concludes in March 2018 (in Bangkok), Legend will be looking to stay
put for a while, showcasing a different side of himself as he stars in a live
production of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Llyod Webber and Tim
Rice. This will be his biggest acting role yet, after having made his mark in
film and television, with roles in the Oscar-winning musical film, La La Land, as well as a producer role
in the American television period drama series Underground.
