The event will stream live on Saturday April 18, at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET, and will include a host of famous faces such as Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Elton John and Andrea Bocelli. It will also be hosted by Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. The ‘One World: Together at Home’ event has been spearheaded by Lady Gaga, who has already done substantial work in fundraising for the event. “It is so important to think globally and support the World Health Organization to curb the pandemic and prevent future outbreaks,” said Lady Gaga in a tweet. “We want to highlight the gravity of this historical, unprecedented, and cultural movement.” Joining Lady Gaga in discussing the event, Hugh Evans, co-founder and CEO of Global Citizen, said “I hope that we, as a shared humanity, emerge from this moment forever grateful for the work of doctors, nurses, teachers, grocery store workers, and all of those who are the backbone of our communities.” “Global health is at the very core of the Global Citizen mission. We must ensure that the world’s poorest and most marginalized people have access to resources to cope with and tackle this health crisis.” “As we honor and support the heroic efforts of community health workers, ‘One World: Together At Home’ aims to serve as a source of unity and encouragement in the global fight to end COVID-19. Through music, entertainment, and impact, the global live-cast will celebrate those who risk their own health to safeguard everyone else’s.”
