Musicians from Celine Dion to Elton John to the Rolling Stones to Alice Cooper have postponed upcoming concerts and tours because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As leaders and health officials have encouraged people to limit social gatherings and practice social distancing, venues throughout the world have temporarily shut down.
So now, the artists you love are coming to you.
In recent days, performers like John Legend, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Keith Urban and Pink have performed home concerts for fans, the Deseret News reported.
On Thursday, Billboard launched a mini-concert series called “Billboard Live-At-Home” via its Facebook page. The two-day series features Josh Groban, JoJo and country singer Russell Dickerson. Each performer will choose a nonprofit partner to support with their livestream — a charity that has worked hard to help those affected by COVID-19, according to Billboard.
JoJo kicked things off with a 20-minute concert Thursday afternoon. Dickerson will perform on Friday, March 20 at 11 a.m. MT.
Groban, who recently canceled shows in Florida, will conclude the series on Friday at 2 p.m. MT.
You can watch Groban and other performers live on Billboard’s Facebook page.
