But punters are questioning whether the All of Me singer is fully aware of the implications of that phrase for a Scottish audience. READ MORE: Scottish Labour by-election candidate 'can't string a sentence together' Times columnist Kenny Farquharson tweeted: 'I wonder if John Legend's management is aware of the puzzlement his tour name may cause in Glasgow.' Get Lifted refers to the title of Legend's debut studio album, released in 2005. But to a Glaswegian audience it might sound a bit more like they're being threatened with a night in the cells.
