JOHN Legend is offering fans the chance to win a private performance with a raffle to raise money to rebuild the auditorium at his old high school.

The All of Me crooner is offering fans the chance to have him give a personal performance, with a donation of just $10 giving those who enter 100 chances to win and all the proceeds going through his Show Me Campaign towards rebuilding the auditorium at his old school, the former South High School in Springfield, Ohio.

In a YouTube video posted on the raffle’s website, the singer plays a keyboard adorned with red rose petals and says: “Hey, I’m John Legend, arguably, one of the most romantic people in the world.

“Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Love is in the air and I’m feeling very inspired to spread the love. That’s why I want to sing a private show for you. Anywhere! Even your wedding! And if you’re already married, that’s cool, let’s celebrate your anniversary.

“Not married? Not a problem,” he continued. “I’ll sweeten up that hot date and get you to that next step . . . of marriage, of course.”

The 36-year-old crooner then warned he won’t sing “weird cover songs” but admitted there would be one exception – and launched into a brief rendition of Colour Me Badd’s 1991 hit I Wanna Sex You Up.

And as well as romantic occasions, John – who is married to model Chrissy Teigen – is happy to perform at backyard barbecues and toddlers’ birthday parties “as long as there’s no clown”’.

The raffle ends on March 26 and as well as a private performance, the lucky winner will also get the chance to hang out with the Ordinary People hitmaker. – Online
