‘One World: Together at Home’ Concert Helps Raise $127.9M for COVID-19 Relief, Global Citizen Announces
The star-studded One World: Together at Home virtual concert special on Saturday helped raised $127.9 million for healthcare workers in their fight against the coronavirus pandemic, according to Global Citizen.
Organized by the World Health Organization and Global Citizen, in collaboration with Lady Gaga, the two-hour televised virtual concert featured performances by The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Keith Urban, Maluma, Jennifer Lopez and many more.
Global Citizen tweeted Sunday (April 19) that the One World concert had raised nearly $128 million.
“I am so humbled to have been a part of this project. Thank you @GlblCtzn. Thank you @WHO. I love you,” Gaga replied to the tweet.
In addition to musicians, Saturday’s event also featured appearances by a number of actors and comedians who joined via livestream to reassure, plead and entertain.
Billboard has reached out to Global Citizen for more information about donations, since the telecast made a point to not solicit money but simply offer support to those on the frontlines of this pandemic.
