Gaga was seen on US TV’s Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon securing what she described as a “sizeable” donation from Apple boss Tim Cook. She has said that the concert is designed to help people deal with lockdown stress and provide something positive for people to look forward to and enjoy.

Lady Gaga told viewers on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show: “We want to raise the money before we go on air When we do go on air, put your wallets away, your credit cards away, and sit back and enjoy the show that you all very much deserve.”

In addition to the main event, Gaga – real name Stefani Germanotta – has arranged for a six hour pre-show event which will be screened worldwide to allow people from different time zones to be part of the event.

Among the names on the pre-show line-up are: Sheryl Crow, Rita Ora, Michael Buble, Jess Glynne, Jessie J, Annie Lennox, Hozier, Adam Lambert, Christine and the Queens, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ellie Goulding, Kesha, Picture This and Soffi Tukker.
