Stevie Wonder encouraged viewers to lean on one another, while Lady Gaga urged people weathering the coronavirus pandemic to find a way to smile through the pain during Saturday's all-star musical event, 'One World: Together at Home'
Lady Gaga urged people weathering the coronavirus pandemic to find a way to smile through the pain, while Stevie Wonder encouraged viewers to lean on one another as the superstars kicked off Saturday's all-star event, "One World: Together at Home."
R&B singer Andra Day performed her inspirational anthem "Rise Up," former One Direction member Niall Horan thanked health care workers and teachers, and pop star Kesha played piano while singing positive lyrics. After thanking those working on the front lines, she said: "I’m going to do the main thing I know how to do, which is play some music and hopefully this will just brighten your day, maybe just a little bit. That’s my goal."
After Lizzo's performance of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come," the singer said, "I love you, we'll get through this together." Among the other performances, Niall Horan performed an acoustic version of "Slow Hands" on guitar, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello sang Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" and Stevie Wonder paid tribute to Bill Withers with a cover of "Lean on Me.
The event is not a fundraiser, and instead asks viewers to support the Together At Home campaign, launched by Global Citizen and WHO in response to the outbreak. Global Citizen will donate all net proceeds from the sale of Together At Home merchandise to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization, powered by the UN Foundation.
