The last time Legend came to Hong Kong was in 2018 for his ‘Darkness and Light’ Tour. At the time, he performed at AsiaWorld-Expo. This time around, the 852 is one of two Asian cities where he will perform in the second half of 2024, the other being Jakarta, where he will play on October 6.
The multi-faceted Legend started out his career playing piano on Lauryn Hill’s Everything is Everything, and then providing backing vocals on tracks like Jay Z’s Encore and Alicia Keys’ You Don’t Know My Name. He gained international acclaim with his hit All of Me, and has since gone on to win 12 Grammys. He also has the distinction of being the only Black male musician to win an EGOT — an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
