You’ve probably seen musicians like John Legend and Chris Martin of Coldplay host makeshift concerts through social media platforms as a way to entertain people while we’re all stuck at home to avoid COVID-19. Now that concept is being taken to the next level in One World: Together at Home, which is curated by Lady Gaga and organized by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization. According to Deadline, Legend and Martin will be among those who will appear on the special, joining Alanis Morissette, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Burna Boy, David Beckham, Eddie Vedder, Elton John, Idris and Sabrina Elba, J Balvin, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Kerry Washington, Lang Lang, Lizzo, Maluma, Paul McCartney, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Shah Rukh Khan, Stevie Wonder, and friends of Sesame Street.
The event is designed to “celebrate the efforts of community health workers and promote the fight to end the global pandemic,” and will feature “multimillion-dollar pledges to the WHO’s Solidarity Response Fund.” They’ll be taking donations as well, and money raised will go to the UN Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which supports and equips healthcare workers, and to local charities which provide food, shelter, and healthcare to those that need it most.
One World: Together at Home airs on April 18, 2020 from 8:00 P.M. until 10:00 P.M.
