John Legend performed a show at Shea's Buffalo Theatre on Wednesday night, where he delivered six stories about his life. Legend, who was introduced as a Pentecostal family member, explained his music inspiration came from his maternal grandmother, who played the organ at church. He dedicated a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to her. Despite the serious nature of his stories, Legend was able to convey his own perspective on his life, which included losing his grandmother at 10 years old and a temporary loss of his mother. He also mentioned his successful career in music, including collaborating with artists like Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Estelle.
