Global superstar, Lady Gaga has announced that she will be heading a special concert for health workers.
The multi-award winning singer is set to perform alongside Lizzo, Billie Eilish, and Sir Elton John in a TV concert which will celebrate health workers amidst the coronavirus crisis.
She revealed that she was hard at working contacting prominent business people that she knows to ‘dip their hands into their pockets for a good cause’.
She said: “I’ve been making lots of phone calls and contacts helping to fundraise with the World Health Organisation and Global Citizens and we are really excited about the show because we didn’t want it to be a fundraiser.
“We wanted everyone to put wallets back and enjoy the show and we have already raised $35million for the solidarity response”.
Along with the group Global Citizen, Gaga has already raised $35m (£28m) for the World Health Organisation. The funds will allow the organisation to buy protective equipment for health workers and to support the efforts to develop drugs and vaccines.
Lady Gaga has also announced that she has co-curated a concert to recognise the efforts of health workers in the fight against Covid-19
