John Legend Performs ‘Let’s Go Crazy’ Prince Tribute at DNC With Sheila E.

John Legend performed a riveting tribute to Prince, before Minnesota Gov Tim Walz took the stage to accept the vice presidential nomination

Legend shared his endorsement of Vice Preident Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate in a CBS Mornings interview Wednesday, and said, “she also has the right character traits I think to be a great president, which means she cares about people’s lives, wants government to work for people and improve their lives.” He joined a slew of actors and artists who have also pledged their support for the presidential candidate including Charli XCX, Barbara Streisand, Jane Fonda, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Kerry Washington. Morris received the Changemaker Award during Variety’s Hitmakers event in December and spoke openly about the “deeply fractured” genre that favors men, adding, “Even as I stand here today, not a single solo woman artist has been in the Top 20 on the Country Airplay charts in the last two weeks.” Several country artists took the stage during the first night of the Democratic National Convention: Mickey Guyton performed “All American” — which Rolling Stone’s Marissa R. Moss called “an audible version of the Harris-Walz camo hat” — and Jason Isbell sang “Something More Than Free,” off of his 2015 album of the same name.
