John Legend wasn’t aware who Cheryl Tweedy and Ashley Cole were when he played at their wedding earlier this month, he has revealed.
In an interview with MTV News, Legend spoke about the Girls Aloud star and England footballer’s wedding, revealing that they were far from celeb pals of his. “First of all being from the States we're not too familiar with footballers and British girl groups,” he said. “So I was kind of ignorant as to exactly who they were.”
“But they called my manager and asked us to do the wedding and I don't do weddings. First of all I'm pretty expensive so not many people can afford to have me play anywhere unless there are a lot of people buying tickets but I guess that they had the money to handle it.”
He added: They asked me to do it and it was a surprise she wanted to do for him. I thought that was really nice. It was cool. It was a nice vibe at the wedding and they were really sweet and they looked incredible. It was nice to be there.
