New music alongside familiar favourites

According to the organisers, the concerts will combine music from Legend’s latest album, Muse, with songs from across his career.

Advertised favourites include All of Me, Ordinary People and Tonight (Best You Ever Had).

The new album was co-written and produced by Pharrell Williams. GrandWest describes its sound as drawing on gospel, soul, doo-wop, Afrobeat and hip-hop. GrandWest – Sun International
