John Legend will host a special "tribute to fathers everywhere" this Father's Day.

The one-hour special, titled "John Legend and Family: A Bigger Love Father's Day," will be an evening of musical performances, touching moments and tons of surprises.

"Some of us may wonder if it's okay to laugh right now," Legend shared in a statement. "But music and humor have always lifted our spirits during tough times. This special celebrates love and the connection to the ones you care about most.
