John Legend elaborated on the upcoming tour in the exclusive People.com article mentioned above, stating:
"My hope for these shows is that they feel like a gathering of friends by the fireside — where the music brings warmth, joy, and a sense of togetherness. Over the years, I’ve experienced the holidays in so many ways, and each version of me — from my childhood to now as a father — has shaped the way I approach this season."
John Legend continued:
"I want to share that journey with the audience, through songs and stories that celebrate both the festive spirit and the moments that bring us closer. I hope people leave feeling like they’ve been part of something warm, familiar, and special."
The upcoming tour will feature a four piece band alongside the singer himself, and have storytelling moments covering the singer's career as well as moments from his life and his family.
John Legend released his latest studio album, My Favorite Dream, on August 30, 2024. The singer elaborated on the new album in a statement posted on his socials on August 9, 2024:
"I’m right in the thick of fatherhood. My parents loved to sing around the house, making up bedtime songs for us and songs to motivate and inspire us. And Chrissy and I also love singing to our kids. We make up little jingles and ditties for them all the time. In our home, music is very important to the way we interact and communicate with them."
John Legend continued:
"Once I started thinking about it, I decided I wanted to write a whole new children’s album. I just took it on as a challenge to write some original lullabies and children’s songs that I would want my kids to hear, something we could share with kids and parents all over the world."
The album is the singer's first new album since 2022's Legend. It is produced at Sufjan Stevens and was released by Republic Records and features the singer's children Chrissy, Luna, and Miles singing backing vocals.
