Rapper, actor and now memoirist (one Tony away from an EGOT), Common will be coming to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre this summer.
The show is part of his Let Love Tour in support of his new book, Let Love Have The Last Word, and its eventual accompanying album. It’s a vulnerable and serious turn for the already stately artist, including a song that reveals he was sexually abused as a child.
It definitely won’t be a turn-up atmosphere for Common’s concert, but it should be packed with classics from a bona fide hip-hop legend. And if you know him as much as a celebrity as a musician – which might explain the costly meet-and-greet option – it’s a good chance to see him in the flesh.
August 7 at Queen Elizabeth Theatre (190 Princes’ Blvd), 7 pm, all ages. $47.25-$203.75. On sale Wednesday (June 12). eventbrite.ca.
