If you didn’t see last night, dozens of musicians and celebrities took part in an 8-hour show to raise money for the World Health Organization during the coronavirus pandemic. The show was called ‘One World: Together At Home” and featured artists such as Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, and The Rolling Stones, who managed to perform “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” despite being in four different locations.
It was quite a spectacular show when it comes to virtual performances, but the best part is that the show generated $127.9 million in donations, all of which will be given to the WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
Those who performed also added their tributes, with Lady Gaga expressing her thanks for medical workers who are “putting their lives at risk for us right now.” Other musicians also spoke about the need for solidarity during the pandemic. Before performing “Lean on Me” in tribute to his late friend Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder said: “During hardships like this, we have to lean on each other for help.”
