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.
