Just an hour ago in New York, famous model and author Chrissy Teigen officially confirmed the news that shocked millions of fans around the world: her husband, singer and songwriter John Legend, decided to temporarily suspend all artistic activities for an unspecified period of time.

The announcement was made in a short but emotional press conference at a private event organized by the couple’s charity. With a tired face and red eyes, Chrissy said in a choked voice:

“John needs time for himself. We always try to be strong for our family, for our fans… but sometimes, people need to step back to heal. I hope everyone understands and supports this decision.”

Without mentioning the details of the reason, Chrissy only said that this decision came from “deeply personal reasons”. That makes the public worried, especially when John Legend has always been known as a dedicated and active artist in social activities – from music, television to charity and education.

A big gap in American music

John Legend is no longer a strange name to global audiences. With hits like All of Me, Ordinary People or Love Me Now, he is not only the owner of an emotional voice, but also a symbol of love, family and kindness.

The news of John’s withdrawal from the spotlight immediately shocked social networks. From Twitter to Instagram, millions of fans expressed regret, concern and sent best wishes to his family.

“You have been my inspiration for the past 10 years. I hope you get well soon and come back stronger!” – a fan wrote.

Chrissy Teigen: “I’m always there for him”

Despite being known for her humor and “crazy” statuses, Chrissy appeared today as a sympathetic and steadfast wife. She emphasized:

“I don’t know when John will be back, but I believe he will do it at the right time. Thank you for loving him like family.”

Currently, neither John Legend nor Chrissy Teigen have given any specific schedules or plans for the future. However, fans hope this is just a short period for John to recharge and come back brighter than ever.
