A singer-songwriter praised for his hits ‘Never Too Much,’ ‘Stop to Love,’ and ‘Give Me the Reason’ as well as his spins on classics ‘A House is Not a Home,’ ‘Superstar,’ ‘So Amazing,’ and ‘If This World Were Mine,’ the GRAMMY winner cemented his legendary status by delivering a bevy of R&B’s most memorable classics.

And while his legacy lacks no laud, dedicated fans would be surprised to know he was never awarded a Platinum plaque for any of the singles he released over his 25-year career.  That changed this week.

‘Sorry Not Sorry’ singer Demi Lovato is apologizing to detractors who slammed her for recently speaking out against a frozen yogurt shop for its ‘triggering’ diet options, but she didn’t do so without offering clarification around her polarizing statement.
