John Legend has announced his Las Vegas residency, and we’re already planning a visit.

Just days after Adele confirmed she would be performing in Sin City, the All Of Me star revealed he would be following suit – unveiling his plans for a 24-show stint at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.

Spilling the beans on his upcoming dates, titled Love in Las Vegas, the 42-year-old shared his excitement at hitting the stage after watching Gwen Stefani’s residency at the same venue.

‘We loved the show. I thought it was beautifully put together. The performance was amazing and Gwen was in top form,’ he told Billboard. ‘It was really inspiring to watch her do that and know that we could possibly be on that same stage. And I’m excited that we’ve sealed the deal with Caesars Entertainment.’

The Voice US coach is also looking forward to bringing his family, including wife Chrissy Teigen and their children, Miles and Luna, down to the proceedings.

‘Some of my in-laws live in Las Vegas and we love spending family time there. But of course, we love to hang out and party and have a good time—we’ve seen some great shows there,’ he continued. ‘We’ve had some great meals there. Vegas has so much to offer. And we want to be a special part of that.

‘My music has always been a celebration of love. And that’s what we want to do with this concert. We just had the Bigger Love tour. And we want to bring that love to Las Vegas. 

‘We’re going to celebrate the music, we’re going to celebrate love, celebrate the connection that people feel when they’re at my shows and how we feel with them.’

Count us in.

The gigs, which begin on April 22 and run until October 29, will be especially poignant for the Ordinary People star as he will be marking the 15-year anniversary of his Once Again album.

John announced his residency on Instagram in typically suave form, sharing a video as he played the piano before getting into a swanky limo.

‘Get ready for Love in Las Vegas! My 2022 Vegas residency featuring your favorite songs from my entire career…,’ he captioned the upload. ‘Full band… beautiful show…magical night. 

‘Presale signup begins now for early access to tickets and VIP packages at johnlegend.com.’

Fans were living for the news, flooding his comments section with praise.

An Instagram user screamed: ‘AWW DAMN! THIS IS DOPE JOHN!!’

‘Ooooooooh this is going to be an awesome show,’ another commented.

As one added: ‘My wallet is crying but love to see it.’

Honestly, same.
