The cover of the issue to be released Friday shows Legend, who is 40, wearing an unbuttoned, wet, blue shirt and standing in waist-deep water.
The 10-time Grammy winner told the magazine that the honor comes with some pressure since he's following Idris Elba, who was last year’s winner. Legend said that “is not fair and is not nice to me!”
Legend said his wife is proud of him.
“I’ve finally impressed her,” he said.
His wife Chrissy Teigen posted on Twitter that his children were not so impressed.

Other recent winners include Dwayne Johnson and David Beckham.
