John Legend wants people to have justice

NEW YORK - The Nobel Peace Prize winners will be serenaded by John Legend on Monday and for that they can thank Legend’s infant daughter - and a second baby on the way. The Grammy winner will take the stage at the Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway, on Dec. 11 for Nobel Peace Prize Concert, a gig he takes mindful of the world he’d like to leave for his children.

“Having kids puts in context for me the kinds of things kids need to be successful and healthy and happy. And realizing that far too many kids don’t have that,’’ the singer-songwriter said by phone from Los Angeles. “That’s what being a father has done for me.’’ Legend, who performed at the 2006 peace prize concert, said he’s honoured to celebrate the same award that was handed to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and former President Barack Obama.
