The show is designed to offer unity amongst people who have been affected by the virus so far, and celebrating and supporting those who are working to save lives.
Speaking of the global broadcast during the WHO’s press briefing on Monday, Lady Gaga revealed that $35 million has already been raised over the past seven days to support the WHO’s efforts – including a generous $10 million donation offered by Apple’s Tim Cook.
“It is so important to think globally and support the World Health Organization to curb the pandemic and prevent future outbreaks,” Lady Gaga said of the upcoming event. “We want to highlight the gravity of this historical, unprecedented, and cultural movement.”
