A TRUE LEGEND! 

John Legend is living up to his name.

John Legend became the first black man and one of the youngest people to win an EGOT. Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award.

He celebrated the monumental achievement on Instagram with a photo and caption.

“Before tonight, only 12 people had won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in competitive categories. Sirs Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice and I joined that group when we won an Emmy for our production of their legendary show Jesus Christ Superstar. So happy to be part of this team. So honored they trusted me to play Jesus Christ. So amazed to be in such rarefied air. #EGOT.”
