Stevie Wonder announces political-themed tour for October

Sept. 20 (UPI) — Legendary music icon Stevie Wonder , whose career has spanned half a century, announced Thursday a 10-stop U.S. tour timed to end just before election day.

His show is called Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart, echoing the title of his recent single that has a decidedly political message.

His tour is a call for “joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, peace over war,” Wonder said, according to the release .

Wonder, a winner of 25 Grammys, will offer an unspecified number of complimentary tickets “as a special thank you … to those in our communities who are already working tirelessly to fix our nation’s broken heart,” the release said.

The 74-year-old recently performed during last month’s Democratic National Convention where he told the crowd he understands the importance of action.
