Fergie To Host ‘The Four’

• Eight-time Grammy® Award-winning, multi-Platinum solo artist Fergie has been named as the host of Fox’s upcoming singing competition series, The Four: Battle For Stardom. The six-episode event premieres Thursday, Jan. 4 from 8-10pm on Fox. “Fergie is a genuine superstar,” said Rob Wade, President, Alternative Programming and Specials, Fox Broadcasting Company. “She’s fierce, she’s a force in her own right and she knows exactly what these singers are going through. So who better than her to help guide them as they fight their way to the finish.”

As was previously announced, The Four‘s panel of experts is Grammy® Award-winning musician, record producer/songwriter Sean “Diddy” Combs, record-producing hitmaker DJ Khaled, Grammy-winning recording artist/songwriter Meghan Trainor and Republic Records Group President Charlie Walk.

“I’m very excited and proud to be the host of The Four: Battle For Stardom,” said Fergie, who also made the announcement on a video posted to Facebook. “This is a unique and modern show format that I believe will set the standard for the next generation of singing competition series on TV. I’m looking forward to being by the contestants’ sides during what could be the most important performances of their lives. Along with these amazing panelists whom I know and love, I hope my experiences as a solo artist and as a member of The Black Eyed Peas can help guide them in their quest to make it in the music industry.”

Fox has teamed up with iHeartMedia to support auditions, assist in the search for talent and boost the careers of artists throughout the run of the competition. As part of the grand prize, the winner will be named an iHeartRadio “On The Verge” artist.
