Lockdowns around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic have forced people from all walks of life -- from the salaryman to the celebrity -- to come up with new and innovate ways to ply their trade from home.  Popular singers from around the world have showcased their support for the both the medical front-line soldiers and their patients during this trying time by making songs to help lift their spirits and send a message of appreciation for their sacrifice.

Cantonese celebrities Sam Hui, Lay Zhang, and Luhan have all lent their star-power to this effort. But not to be outdone, Lady Gaga has also decided to add to the growing list of singers making virtual concerts.  The prolific American singer has also invited Hong Kong A-listers Jacky Cheung and Eason Chan to participate.  In fact, the World Health Organization had asked Gaga to organize a global virtual concert "One World: Together At Home", along with Global Citizen to support and raise funds for medical staff on the front lines of this germ war.  The exhibitionist Gaga agreed, and helped to raise $35 million dollars in a week's time for this show.

However, she is not alone in this virtual mega-concert.  Accompanying her with be Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Alanis Morissette, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Chris Martin, Elton John, and John Legend.  Joining the American celebrity entourage will be Jacky Cheung, and Eason Chan.  One wonders whether or not Korean KPOP megastars will also be invited to perform.
