LONDON Jul 10, 2016, 8:51 PM ET
Stevie Wonder urged his fans to choose "love over hate" and expressed dismay over the troubles in the world at a concert devoted to one of his classic albums.
The legend performed Sunday in Hyde Park for the British Summertime Festival. He opened his concert by telling fans he loved them all in these difficult times, and asked them to live in positivity.
"I encourage you to choose love over hate. It's just that simple. Choose love over hate, right over wrong, kind over meanness. Hope over no hope at all."
The 66-year-old's Grammy-winning, 1976 album "Songs in the Key of Life" was the focus of the concert; Wonder played the album in its entirety.

Here's the chorus from "Love's In Need Of Love Today"
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Hate's goin' round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone too far
Don't delay
Send yours in right away
Hate's goin' round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before it's gone too far
Mr. Wonder is a treasured artist and prophet.
