John Legend and Common to perform at Oscars
Pair will sing their nominated song ‘Glory’ from the film ‘Selma’
Common and John Legend will perform their Oscar-nominated song Glory at the Academy Awards.
The song is from the civil rights drama Selma and is among the five nominees for best song. The other four are Everything Is Awesome, from The Lego Movie, Grateful, from Beyond the Lights, I’m Not Gonna Miss You, from Glen Campbell ... I’ll Be Me, and Lost Stars, from Begin Again.
Legend is scheduled to perform at the closing night of the Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival on February 27.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also announced on Tuesday that Let It Go songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez are writing an original number for host Neil Patrick Harris. The pair won the best-song Oscar last year for the ubiquitous Frozen song.
