Elton John to host coronavirus relief concert

Fox and iHeartMedia announced Wednesday that Elton John will host a worldwide concert to raise funds for coronavirus relief. 

FOX Presents the iHeart Living Room Concert for America will feature performances by Alicia Keys, Backstreet Boys, Billie Eilish, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mariah Carey, Tim McGraw and more, all filmed remotely from their homes. Many of the artists were scheduled to perform at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, which have now been postponed.

Viewers will be encouraged to donate to Feeding America and First Responders Children’s Foundation as the concert pays tribute to medical professionals, first responders, and others working around-the-clock to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and treat those affected by it.

The event will be broadcast on all of Fox’s linear and digital platforms, as well as iHeartMedia radio stations and the iHeartRadio app.

The concert will air Sunday, March 29 at 9 p.m. EST on Fox, when the iHeartRadio Music Awards were supposed to air.
