    And on Friday, the Stones were added as last minute additions to the bill, announcing their participation on Twitter.
    “The Rolling Stones will be joining One World: #TogetherAtHome with @GlblCtzn and @WHO – Tune in tomorrow at 8pm ET, for this special broadcast event to honour healthcare workers on the frontlines of the #COVID19 pandemic,” a tweet from the band reads.

    In the U.K., the BBC will broadcast a highlights show on Sunday – which will feature additional performances by British acts Little Mix, Sir Tom Jones, and Rag’n’Bone Man.

    Lady GaGa: It's Inappropriate to Ask Fans for Donations Amid Covid-19 Crisis at Upcoming Concert

    Instagram

    The Mother Monster clarifies that her ‘One World: Together at Home’ concert will not be a fundraising event because she feels it’s ill-timed to ask fans for money amid the pandemic.
    Apr 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa’s upcoming “One World: Together at Home” concert will not be a fundraising event, as she felt it was inappropriate to ask fans for donations amid the coronavirus crisis.
    The Oscar winner will serve as curator for the show, staged in partnership with officials from Global Citizen and the World Health Organisation on April 18, 2020.
    However, while the “Stupid Love” singer has already helped raise $35 million to fight the deadly illness over the past week, by reaching out to corporations and philanthropists, the “One World” event isn’t being held to add to the fund.
    Speaking with U.S. late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel, who will present the show along with Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert, on Monday, April 6, 2020, GaGa explained, “The money will actually be raised before the special and we will not ask you for money during the special for a lot of reasons, mostly because we’re very cognisant of the fact that unemployment is rising and also that people are having a very hard time feeding their children.”
    She clarified, “We want everyone to enjoy this show.”

    During the segment, GaGa also called Apple CEO Tim Cook about a donation for the event, and managed to solicit a further $10 million pledge from the tech mogul.

    Lady GaGa Admits Coronavirus Scraps Plan for Secret Coachella Set, Delays 'Chromatica' Release

    WENN

    Though believing that art can provide joy and healing, the ‘Born This Way’ singer says that ‘it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Mar 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is delaying the release of her new album after the coronavirus pandemic scuppered plans to promote “Chromatica” with a secret set at California’s Coachella festival.
    The pop superstar had previously hoped to unleash her new material on 10 April and make a surprise return to the stage at Coachella to celebrate its launch, but now the festival has been postponed until October, GaGa has had to rethink her whole marketing plan.
    In a lengthy note posted on social media on Tuesday, March 24, GaGa explains, “I wanted to tell you, that after a lot of deliberation, I’ve made the incredibly tough decision to postpone the release of Chromatica. I will announce a new 2020 release date soon.”
    “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic.”
    “I had so many fun things planned for us to celebrate together…,” she continues. “I had a secret Coachella set lined up, and a lot of other fun surprises, some of which I’m still planning to share with all of you very soon!”
    And while GaGa’s Las Vegas residency shows for 30 April to 11 May were recently put on hold, the singer hopes the current health crisis will have subsided by late May, allowing for her other gigs – as well as her Chromatica Ball summer tour – to go ahead as scheduled.
    The “Born This Way” hitmaker concludes the message by insisting Chromatica is “still very much on the way,” adding, “To my fans, I love you. I know you are disappointed. Probably angry and sad… I hope you can see that when the album does come out, I want us to be able to dance together, sweat together, hug and kiss each other, and make it the most bombastic (sic) celebration of all time And until that time comes, LET’S ALL STAY HOME!”

    GaGa is the latest artist to push back album release plans after Alicia Keys and HAIM also hit the pause button on the launch of their projects.
