Amid the crisis, major at-home fundraising concerts have taken place to raise funds for frontline workers, food security, and other related issues arising from the impact of the pandemic.


The online appearances by Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Willie Nelson and others have provided much-needed funding to charities offering help to people facing financial hardship, and distracting fans social distancing in their own homes.

Though the online concerts are free, viewers are encouraged to donate to a range of causes and covid-19 relief funds. Etan Vlessing provides a synopsis with the most recent charitable fundraising totals for five of these events that can be viewed at Samaritanmag.com

Bryan Adams Honours Terry Fox with New Single 'The Ballad of Terry Fox'

The song is set to appear in the forthcoming documentary Run Terry Run about the heroic Canadian runner, which will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September.

Bryan Adams' newest single is a tribute to a Canadian hero.

The Canadian singer-songwriter released "The Ballad of Terry Fox," a motivational, guitar-backed ballad that pays homage to the late Canadian runner who led the groundbreaking Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run and fundraiser for cancer research. Adams' uplifting lyrics detail Fox's resilience while running for the humanitarian cause, "for the people and their stories that never will be told," even through trying distances and weather conditions.
