Lady Gaga raises $127 million, and other celebs livestreaming shows during coronavirus

After Erykah Badu's 2020 tour dates were canceled, she developed her 'Quarantine Concert Series,' where fans can watch her and her band perform from her bedroom, which she admitted was always a dream of hers. Her shows cost only US$2, which is a small price to pay, she argues, for the integrity of a live show, especially considering that artists and their bands make most of their money from touring. The series can be streamed on baduworldmarket.com.

Lady Gaga raises $127 million, and other celebs livestreaming shows during coronavirus

'One World: Together at Home' was a star-studded success

CELEBRITY Music

With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, festivals, performances, concerts, and all large gatherings have been canceled all over the world. As a result, many sad fans and artists are isolated in their homes, aching for entertainment. To combat this chaotic time and bring everyone some self-quarantined joy, some musicians have taken to social media to offer online performances, livestreamed to whoever wants to see.

For example, Lady Gaga teamed up with the World Health Organization and Global Citizen to organize the two-hour livestream 'One World: Together at Home,' on April 18. Tons of artists participated, including Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, the Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish, Jennifer Lopez, and even a legendary quartet performance with Gaga, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, and John Legend. The virtual concert raised an impressive US$127.9 million for health care workers and coronavirus relief, which will reportedly be split between the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and local and regional responders.
