John Legend has announced a secret gig in London.

The soul singer will be playing a one off show for 1Xtra at an undisclosed location on 13 October.

John said "I've played in London many times, but rarely do I have the opportunity to do it in such an intimate venue. I know it's going to be a special night."

The gig will go out on MistaJam's show on the night and fans can apply for tickets online.

The singer recently performed alongside Busta Rhymes, Ludacris and Lethal Bizzle at a show for Orange RockCorps at London's Royal Albert Hall.

The gig was held for 5,000 volunteers who earned their tickets by spending four hours volunteering in community projects.
