John Legend Playing Kim and Kanye's Wedding

John Legend hired as the wedding singer for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding.

John Legend is leading the way as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West search for the ultimate wedding singer.

The R&B star is a close friend of the groom, and he's odds-on favourite to serenade the couple on their big day after Jay Z snubbed the ceremony entirely.

According to the latest odds from Paddy Power, John is in pole position to step up and headline the glitzy bash.

He's currently at odds of 2/1 to perform when the pair get married in Paris next month, while stunning star Rihanna follows closely behind at 5/1.
