Imagine our surprise when John Legend and Keith urban appeared unexpectedly on our screens during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony.
This is exactly what happened on Friday, July 23rd, when both singers at a video performance by. occurred surprisingly John Lennon‘s “Imagine” together with the Spanish performer Alejandro Sanz, Beninese singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo and the Suginami Children’s Choir.
“What a lovely group of artists came together to celebrate the idea that we are connected as humans,” Legend said in a behind-the-scenes video. “And this is the perfect song for us to sing together.”
The virtual performance was one of The Voice’s first major appearances since his wife Chrissy Teigen faced controversy for her resurfaced tweets targeting a then-teenage boy Courtney Stodden, as well as allegations of cyber bullying against designers Michael Costello. While Teigen and Legend denied Costello’s claims, Teigen penned an open letter apologizing for her earlier remarks about Stodden.
