And of course, there’s always the chance of seeing his awesome wife, Chrissy Teigen.
Not sure if I’m happier 2 see @johnlegend in #PHX next week or just knowing @chrissyteigen + Luna will be backstage. #DarknessAndLightTour

And some serious love and affection, and some self-delusion.
Saw @johnlegend Friday and now can’t stop singing Darkness & Light at the top of my lungs. My voice is preeetty close in quality to his.
