Our country seems divided now, and sometimes regular conversations can become emotional arguments. At a time when we should be coming together, it seems some are growing even further apart. Stevie Wonder has noticed the divisive political climate and wants to make a difference for fans.

Stevie Wonder’s Tour Begins Soon
Ahead of the presidential election in November, Stevie will play 10 shows beginning October 8 in Pittsburgh and a final show in Grand Rapids, Michigan on October 30. Per a release obtained by Good Morning America, Stevie wants to bring the country back together.
“Stevie Wonder announces today that he will be playing select dates in October, at the height of a critical election season and a pivotal juncture in American politics and culture,” it reads.
The limited-engagement tour is “a call for ‘joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, peace over war.'”
The tour follows Stevie’s newest song, Can We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart, which was released on August 30. It is Stevie’s take on what is happening in America right now.
“Children marching on the boulevard / Tears are streaming down their face / Tension in the air is so bizarre / Love has gone without a trace,” he sings.
“People pushing and shouting and fighting through the haze / And all this sadness, madness, help me take away the pain, it’s gotta change,” he continues in the chorus. “This can’t stay the same, so tell me please / Can we fix our nation’s broken heart?”
Tickets for the upcoming shows go on sale September 19. For more information, check out steviewonderlive.com.
