‘Tune in at 8pm ET for performances from fantastic artists and stories from workers on the frontline of the crisis who need our support.’

Chris Martin, Annie Lennox, Jennifer Lopez, Shawn Mendes, Stevie Wonder, The Killers, Adam Lambert, Kesha, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sheryl Crow, Niall Horan and countless more are also slated to perform for the virtual concert.
The eight-hour event will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and be shown live on multiple online platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Facebook, Instagram, TuneIn, Twitch, Twitter and YouTube.
The purpose of the concert is to show support for frontline workers and is being run by the Global Citizen movement and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Global Citizen said: ‘We may be apart right now, but coming together has never been more important.’
Proceeds generated will go to the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the WHO, but Lady Gaga stressed it is not a fundraising telethon.
It will instead focus on music and entertainment with stories of nurses and doctors fighting coronavirus.
A six-hour pre-show is available to stream online from 7pm, before a two-hour concert takes place both online and on television from 1am in the UK.
Stars in their eyes: Fans are tuning in all around the world for the one-off concert and some are even dressing up as the stars such as Emily and Molly as Elton John and Lady Gaga
