John Legend live in Manila at Big Dome Sept. 26

MANILA, Philippines - The success of John Legend’s ballad, All of Me lifted from his current million-selling album, will give him the opportunity to get up-close and personal with his fans worldwide via the tour.

Multi-award winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter and Ohio born John revealed through Glen Llamas of Wilbros Live that his show will feature him in an intimate and acoustic setting, highlighted by guitar/vocal accompaniment as well as a string quartet. Fans can expect to hear John perform his smash single, his current single :you & I (Nobody in the World) and his first hit single, Ordinary People.

To recall, John got another Grammy as Best Male R&B performance for his single Heaven and throughout his career, John has worked to make a difference in the lives of others. He started gaining momentum through a series of similar collaborations with established artists, adding vocals to an impressive list of chart-topping hits including Kanye West’s All of the Lights, Jay-Z’s Encore and back up vocals on Alicia Keys’ 2003 song You Don’t Know My Name.

John acknowledged that the smash hit All of Me was an inspiration from his wife Chrissy Teigen and in fact the song was given to her as a gift and said that she “takes all the credit” for the tune. “Having somebody who knows me so well and knows what it takes to push me creatively is really important.” All of Me has turned into the biggest hit of his decade-long career and his first Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

John’s All Of Me Tour in Manila will be on Sept. 26, 8 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. It is presented by Wilbros Live in cooperation with BoardWorks Media and Zero-In Concept & Production, MaxVit, Fox and Starworld, Philstar.com, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Business World, Manila Bulletin Today, OAAP, Inquirer.Net, PEP.PH and Yahoo Phils.
