Stevie Wonder was honoured at the 10th Annual Heaven Gala on Sunday (08.01.17).

The 66-year-old singer songwriter was the Visionary Recipient at the evening's event, which took place at Red Studios, saw the 'Isn't She Lovely' hitmaker take to the stage to perform his version of 'Heaven', as well as 'Sketches of a Life', 'They Won't Go When I Go' and his 1972 hit record 'You Are The Sunshine Of My Life.'

Speaking at the event, Stevie said: ''Heaven is love. Heaven is life. I think what we have is all twisted on this planet. We are not doing what we need to do to make Earth as it is in Heaven because that is what I believe it is supposed to be.''

Stevie Wonder is set to head up a star-studded tribute concert to the legendary Prince in St. Paul, Minnesota next month, that will also feature performances and appearances from people in the late star’s inner circle.

Billed as ‘The Official Prince Tribute’, the show was first announced back in early July, just over two months after Prince had died from an accidental overdose of painkillers, but details of the show have been slow to emerge since then.

In addition to R&B legend Wonder, the line-up also boasts Christina Aguilera, Chaka Khan, John Mayer, Tori Kelly, Anita Baker, Doug E. Fresh and Luke James.

Stevie Wonder has urged his fans to “choose love over hate” in a tribute to the Black Lives Matter campaign, during his massive gig in London’s Hyde Park at the weekend.

The iconic R&B singer addressed the 65,000-strong crowd that had turned out to see him perform on Sunday (July 10th) at the British Summer Time Festival in central London, at the end of a week that had been devastated by deadly race-related violence in America.

Wonder told his fans to live in hope that things will improve “in this horrible time we’re living in”, and to treat everybody with respect. “I encourage you to choose love over hate. It's just that simple. Choose love over hate, right over wrong, kind over meanness. Hope over no hope at all,” he said.

Stevie Wonder will return to the UK this summer, bringing his Songs in the Key of Life tour to London for the Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park. The musical legend will be playing his eighteenth studio album in its full listing for the record's 40th Anniversary.

Stevie Wonder brings landmark album to Hyde Park

In 1976, Wonder released a Diamond-certified classic double album that is repeatedly praised as one of the greatest albums of all time. Prince and Elton John themselves are among those that have said that the album, which features such gems as 'Isn't She Lovely?', 'I Wish' and 'Sir Duke', is genuinely the best ever, with President of the United States of America Barack Obama also declaring it his favourite album. Now Wonder will be revisiting that landmark time of his career by bringing it to a UK audience of 65,000 in July on the Great Oaks stage.

Has there ever been a festival more rooted in positivity, unity and optimism for change than last weekend's Global Citizen Festival? The charitable event raised awareness about serious world issues and also saw soul legend Stevie Wonder headline the Saturday night. Organised by Australian philanthropist Hugh Evans, the event is designed to raise funds to support causes that lift people out of extreme poverty, work towards gender equality in education, and promote environmental sustainability.

Stevie Wonder Played A Central Role In The Festival's Success.

After being introduced himself by U2 rocker Bono, Stevie Wonder proceeded to welcome the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon: "My friends, there are rock stars, and there are rock stars," Wonder explained. "And I can assure you that the secretary general is a genuine rock star. He's a rock star in his quest to bring hope to the hopeless, consensus where there's conflict, and peace and rights to those who suffer from hatred and despair."

Kings Of Leon have released 'Supersoaker,' the first single from their forthcoming album Mechanical Bull. The soulful effort features the band's signature anthemic guitar bursts and Caleb Followill's scowling vocals. All in all, it's pretty standard fare from the Nashville four-piece and it suggests more of the same for the band's sixth LP.
