John Legend returned to the Billboard Music Awards stage last night performing his hit song ‘Never Break’ which he dedicated to his wife Chrissy Teigen following their pregnancy loss.
Just before he performed, co-coach on The Voice Kelly Clarkson shared a few words. “I want to take a moment to talk about a friend who inspires me on the daily. Not only as a musician, a songwriter, but as a human. John Legend is one of my favourite people on this planet and it’s easy for us all to feel that way about them because he and Chrissy just have this warm way of inviting us into their world – the highs and the lows.”
“My heart, obviously all of our hearts, go out to you both in this very difficult time and I’m thankful that you continue to share your light and your talent with all of us.”
This was the first time John took the stage since he and his wife lost their son, Jack in early October following complications. “This is for Chrissy,” he said before playing the piano.
