As I said the last few weeks, music thrives in times of crisis.

Global Citizen and the World Health Organization (WHO) — in association with the United Nations Foundation have rallied up some artists and will present a global broadcast to support frontline healthcare workers

The special is called “One World: Together at Home”. It will air at 8 p.m.ET April 18 on ABC, NBC and ViacomCBS networks, and iHeartMedia.

The virtual broadcast will tell stories of those who have been impacted by COVID-19 as well as share behind the scenes of frontline healthcare workers around the world.

Lady Gaga coordinated the event and will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert. Appearances include 25 musicians – Chris Martin, Eddie Vedder, Lizzo, Elton John, John Legend, Alanis Morissette, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish and Finneas, Billie Joe Armstrong, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Maluma, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Idris and Sabrina Elba, and David Beckham.

The Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison, & Joan Jett tour is nearly cancelled according to insiders.

“The tour is almost 100% cancelled. Rehearsals at an unknown location in LA were supposed to happen in May. Those have been cancelled. Given the band’s age and to quote the contact’s words “declining ability”, it may not even get rescheduled.”

This was going to be the rock tour of the summer. Apparently, 700,000 tickets were sold generating over $90 million in the first weekend of sales. The tour was set to kick off in June.

This isn’t a joke. Hollywood made $5,000 bucks in the last week of March. Yes, that’s right. Box offices pulled in $5k – the lowest ticket sales total in history. During the same time last year, box offices pulled in $200 million. Instead of theaters people have turned to streaming services. Of course most theaters are closed and are considered non-essential but people aren’t entering the few that are open. Nearly all 2020 wide-release films are either available for streaming.

Some are saying that the entertainment industry will never be the same. People want more online content and earlier access to digital versions of blockbuster movies.

According to sources, “Film studios in Hollywood have already seen losses totaling $7 billion, the outlet said, and it’s estimated that bottom line number could grow to as high as $17 billion by June.”

Timing is everything. Just ask Andra Day. Her song Rise Up has jumped back on the Top 5 on US iTunes Sales Chart. The track was included in a piece about “heroes and heartwarmers” that aired on NBC’s TODAY Show.The track was released nearly 5 years ago and is seeing a resurgence because of the its lyrical relevance.

It’s a tough time for the Hollywood celebrity. With a national shutdown and no more gigs, the celebrity has turned to the ruling class to promote public service messages like “stay positive,” “we’re all in this together”, “Stay The F Home”, “Wash Your Hands”. This has become a PR disaster for most and if not treated carefully, their careers won’t recover.

Jennifer Lopez posted a video of her family sheltering in the backyard of Alex Rodriguez’s vast Miami compound, the public snapped.“We all hate you,” was one representative response.

Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee said to his fans in a tweet – ‘Stay Inside’: ‘I Got Some Big Stadium S**t To Do In June’. The fans replied to Tommy with “Stay The F Home, the tour isn’t happening.

Pharrell Williams asked his followers to donate to aid frontline responders. The public told him to empty his own deep pockets.

“Ellen DeGeneres lounged on her sofa, video-chatting with famous friends. Comedian Kevin T. Porter solicited stories from service workers who had experienced run-ins with DeGeneres, whom he called “notoriously one of the meanest people alive.”

David Geffen deleted his Instagram after being slammed for a post about how he’s self-isolating on his $590 million superyacht.

The list goes on and on. Check out The New York Times ‘Celebrity Culture Is Burning.’
