John Legend’s Get Lifted was a heck of a debut. Much-hyped at the time (late 2004), the album went on to go double platinum for sales in the US (and single platinum here in the UK) and was named by several critics among the decade’s best R&B releases. To this day, Get Lifted remains one of Legend’s most renowned works thanks to tracks like ‘Ordinary People’ and ‘Used to Love U’.
UK-based fans of Get Lifted-era John Legend, it’s time to get excited. The pop crooner has announced a Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour with 40 dates in cities around the world – and several of those tour stops are scheduled for Britain. Better yet, the tour is coming up very soon: it kicks off this coming May.
