Democratic bigwigs are trying to line up A-list celebrities to appear at the Democratic National Convention — and one person we know they’ve arrested is John Legend.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … John is scheduled to make an appearance at the convention in Chicago in a few weeks — and while we know he’ll be in a prominent presence … it’s still unclear how exactly he’ll contribute.

In other words… we’re not sure if he’ll just be talking, singing/performing, or a mix of both. Considering his political history, though, you can probably expect a little bit of everything.
As you know… John is a longtime and active Democrat who has been politically active in recent presidential campaigns.
He and his wife Chrissy Teigen were big supporters of the president Joe Biden during his 2020 campaign, with John even performing at an Election Day eve rally in Philadelphia for Biden.
He has since expressed his support for the vice president. Kamala Harris. In fact, John was one of the first celebrities to speak out on social media in his favor after Biden withdrew his candidacy for re-election.
He wrote… “She is ready for this fight and I am excited to help her in any way I can.”

It looks like John is making good on that promise. While convention planners tell us no final programming decisions have been made at this time, our sources say John is 100 percent on board.
Celebrities have become a fixture at political conventions. Just look at the RNC in Milwaukee, where Amber Rose, Hulk Hogan It is Kid Rock done flashy appearances in support of Donald Trump.
There’s no word on whether Chrissy and the kids will be there, but considering they often perform together, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume this would be a family event.

Obviously, Kamala and the DNC are trying to drum up interest from big names, and the question now is how exactly is John going to excite the base???
