In support of medical workers around the world in the COVID-19 outbreak, the WHO and Global Citizen launched a benefit special, titled “One World: Together at Home,” on Saturday. Hosted by three late-night stars, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, the special, featuring over 100 entertainers and celebrities, was the biggest event so far to salute frontline workers worldwide.
According to Reuters, after Lady Gaga announced the event two weeks ago, it expanded to include some of the biggest names in showbiz, such as Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Celine Dion, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Ellen DeGeneres, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Sam Smith, Stevie Wonder and Taylor Swift. Hong Kong singers Jacky Cheung, Eason Chan, Chinese pianist Lang Lang, and K-pop boyband SuperM also participated in this star-studded event.
“Our hope for the special is that everyone will come away believing that we, as a shared humanity, can emerge from this moment,” said Hugh Evans, a co-founder of Global Citizen.
