Dozens of musicians use their videos to send a powerful message about important social issues, but John Legend took things to a whole new level. He’s the first recording artist to employ YouTube’s fundraising feature with moving visual for his new single “Preach”.

At the very beginning of this video, we see Legend struggling to fall asleep and entering a mysterious white door after getting out of his bed. After going through the door, the EGOT winner is forced to take a closer look at issues plaguing the modern news cycle.

John Legend said the idea for this song came from his own frustration and confusion by the things he’s hearing on the news on daily basis. Instead of becoming apathetic, he decided to become engaged and do something to change things for the better.

He used the video for “Preach” to start a fundraising campaign for his new nonprofit organization FreeAmerica. He’s hoping to raise $50,000 in the next year.

“By challenging stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and uplifting solutions, we are helping to end mass incarceration and invest in just, equitable, and thriving communities across the United States,” Legend explained.

Netflix pretty much did it all in the last few years, and they’re now getting ready to explore the world of singing competition shows. This streaming service is developing a hip-hop themed talent search Rhythm & Flow, with a couple of big shots already attached to the project.

Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and T.I. have been tapped to serve as the three main judges. In addition to finding the next breakout hip-hop star, they’ll also serve as executive producers of this exciting new rap battle.

Rhythm & Flow is the brainchild of John Legend and his partners at Get Lifted Film Co. Netflix ordered 10 hour-long episodes of this talent search, which is set to premiere in fall 2019. Auditions will be held this fall across the US, with the established rappers from each city serving as guest judges.

Rhythm & Flow isn’t Netflix’s first foray into the world of reality television. They found success in this arena with Nailed It! and Queer Eye, but this will be their first attempt to make a talent competition shows, with big stars on board.

After John Legend recently achieved the EGOT status (given to a person who wins Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award), he figured it is now time to share his wisdom with others. And what’s a better way to do it than mentoring young talents on NBC’s reality singing competition The Voice.

NBC announced that Legend will join The Voice as a new coach for season 16, replacing Jennifer Hudson, who is leaving the show after season 15.

“John Legend is a one-of-a-kind musician and producer with remarkable skills that are beyond measure,” said Paul Telegdy, president of the alternative and reality group at NBC Entertainment, in a statement. “His multi-dimensional career and incredible talents provide a repertoire that will excite and inspire our artists. This coaching panel is sure to ignite season 16.”

John Legend will take his seat in the spinning red chair row alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton. Season 16 is set to kick off in the spring of 2019.

“I’m thrilled to join the coaches of The Voice,” said Legend in a statement. “I’ve been a guest and mentor on the show multiple times, and I’m so excited to discover talented singers and help them make the most of their gift. I hope the world is ready for #TeamJL.”

John Legend joining the show is just a continuation of great news for The Voice fans. NBC recently announced that the upcoming season will feature a companion series titled The Comeback Stage. This series, hosted by singer Kelsea Ballerini, will see six candidates who didn’t make it through past the Blind Auditions, receiving a chance to fight for their spot in the playoffs once again. The Comeback Stag will premiere at the same time as the 15th season of The Voice.

John Legend reached the status worthy of his last name this weekend when he became a member of the elite EGOT club.

The famous singer made history by winning an Emmy for NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert. He became the first black man to reach EGOT status after adding an Emmy to his already full trophy shelf.

Legend’s first Grammy victory came in 2006 when he collected awards for Best New Artist, Best R&B Album and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. It was just the beginning of his amazing run since he received additional seven awards in the years to come.

Legend had to wait a little bit longer for the rest of his EGOT victories. He accepted Ava DuVernay’s invitation to write a song for her historical drama Selma. This decision transformed him into the winner of Academy Award for Best Original Song, which he won for Glory. Two years later, he received a Tony for co-producing Jitney for the Broadway stage.

His Emmy victory is special since he shared it with two amazing artists who also reached EGOT status that night. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice both received Oscar, Grammy, and Tony in the past, but Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert brought them their first Emmy victory.

Chrissy Teigen took to Twitter to announce that she and husband John Legend welcomed their second child on Wednesday.

“Somebody’s herrrrrrre!” she tweeted, adding baby bottle emojis.

Teigen first announced her pregnancy last November with a cute video of their 2-year-old daughter Luna pointing to her belly, saying, “Baby!” And in January, following their appearance at the Grammy’s, the couple revealed that they were expecting a baby boy.

The Lip Sync Battle co-host also opened up to ET that Luna was thrilled for the arrival of her baby brother. “She is so excited. Actually, she’s got her little baby doll now that she’s been really taking care of.”

“It’s hard though because she’s definitely jealous of John and I,” she continued, adding that she’s “protective” of her daddy. “She’s so protective of John, and when we kiss, she like, looks [up] from no matter where she is.”

As for Legend, he shared that he’s most excited to have a “little Johnny” in their family. “It’s always exciting because you never know what they’re going to be like,” the singer-songwriter told ET in April. “You’re just excited that another product of your relationship and your love is going to be out there in front of you.”

“We’re just excited to see how we’re going to be as parents of two, and how Luna is going to be as a big sister,” he said. “It’s going to be really exciting and fun.”

Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram on Sunday to announce that she’s expecting a son.

“Mama and her baby boy,” she captioned a photo with her baby bump covered in a silver sequinned gown. Earlier in the evening, Teigen and husband John Legend attended the 2018 Grammy awards together in New York City.

The TV personality told ET’s Keltie Knight that she hopes her second baby gets more of daddy’s personality. “I hope baby two is like John a lot,” she said at the red carpet for Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala on Saturday. “Baby Luna’s more like me…and I realized I can be difficult,” she added.

But Legend doesn’t mind what will be the characteristic of their next child. “I’m very much in love with my wife and my daughter so if the next baby has any of their characteristics I’ll be very happy,” he admitted.

The couple is already parents to 1-year-old Luna. Last November, the former Sports Illustrated model revealed that they’re expecting a second child.
