John Legend continues to soar to higher ground.

Following multiple Grammy wins and unforgettable Oscar glory, last night brought with it a Tony award win for the performer!

What for? His role as co-producer of the Broadway show JITNEY which now means he stands only an Emmy away from bagging all four major American entertainment awards!

John won a Tony!!! He has a GOT!
