Lady Gaga: Online concert against COVID-19: The global online concert “One World: Together At Home”, which was an initiative of Lady Gaga, raised $ 128 million in an effort to support the fight against the pandemic . The online concert was organized by the popular pop singer in collaboration with the World Health Organization and the Global Citizen. The concert was not only broadcast online but also on NBC, CBS and ABC. It featured, among others, Lady Gaga, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, John Legend, Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift. The concert began with a first show that lasted 6 hours, which combined music, messages, comedy sketches and stories of doctors, nurses and other workers who fight daily against the Coronavirus. The amount raised from this online concert will support the efforts of healthcare professionals to discover a treatment and vaccine for the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
At this point, it is worth noting that the Coronavirus has had a strong impact, among other things, on the cultural field, with notable examples being Comic-Con International and Netflix.
Comic-Con International has been canceled for 2020
For the first time in five decades, Comic-Con International will not take place. Organizers announced Friday that the event, which was scheduled to take place in San Diego from July 23 to 26, will be canceled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Those who purchased badges for this year's events will soon receive instructions on how to get a refund or keep their badges for 2021.
