Although the 57-year-old has given numerous performances worldwide, Wonder’s last full-scale tour in the United States was in 1995.

The Motown legend has won some two dozen Grammys and had dozens of hits. His song “I Just Called to Say I Loved You,” used in the movie “The Woman in Red,” won the Academy Award for best original song in 1985.
