Performing in London for the first time in almost three years, multi-talented soul-pop sophistocrat John Legend transformed the Somerset House courtyard into a giant cocktail-jazz lounge bar for his Summer Series soirée.
Backed by an old-school big band of sharp-dressed players and sparkly-gowned backing singers, the dapper 43-year-old singer-songwriter made a point of telling the well-heeled crowd how much he had missed us during his long Covid-enforced absence. "You’re my dream come true, London," he gushed. "We’ve been separated for far too long."
