On Monday, Chris Martin of Coldplay decided it was time to lift some spirits as America and the rest of the world enters self quarantine due to the rapid spread of Coronavirus. Working with the World Health Organization for the #TogetherAtHome series, the Coldplay frontman hosted a live streamed living room concert and included some of the band’s most beloved hits, including “Yellow,” “Sky Full Of Stars,” and “Viva La Vida.” Now streamed almost half a million times, the hashtag has spread into a series and yesterday John Legend took over.
Miguel, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are all set to play streams on that hashtag platform in the coming days, so keep an eye out for them. But plenty of other musicians are taking matters into their own hands, too. Unable to tour and restless at home, what better way for artists and fans to connect than using technology to share music and other resources? Check out an updating list of musicians who are hosting live streams in the coming days.
