And John Legend has received his fair share of requests, such as musicians Sabelo Mthembu, requesting to open for the star, and songstress Nothende, who requested a duet.
Can we sing together this time?

John Legend will perform in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban this November.
The chart-topping musician was in South Africa two years ago for his All Of Me Tour.
His latest album has become a global hit with top 10 singles “Love Me Now” and “Penthouse Floor” featuring Chance the Rapper. The album debuted on the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and was streamed over 12 million times in the first week.
His SA fans took to twitter to say they were “super excited”, with one saying he would be taking a loan to attend the concert while others said, “they wouldn’t miss it for the world”.
John Legend is the one American artist that really cares about SA. He is not waiting to fall from his prime before he visits.❤️
