A mix of musical performances, interviews, sketch comedy and celeb cameos, the fundraiser is an artistic collaboration between Global Citizen and the World Health Organization.One World will feature Billie Eilish, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Lizzo, Kacey Musgraves, Alanis Morissette, Chris Martin, David Beckham, Andrea Bocelli and more, and while the details are still rolling in, with Lady Gaga in charge, you know it’s going to be amazing. We're going to guess this was the big announcement that Gaga and Fallon were going to chat about before their FaceTime fail last week.[video_embed id='1932827']RELATED: Jimmy Fallon's interview with Lady Gaga did not go well[/video_embed]“It is so important to think globally and support the World Health Organization to curb the pandemic and prevent future outbreaks,” Lady Gaga explained in a press release.

While Gaga hasn’t posted much else about the event on social yet, she’s been outspoken about the importance of physical distancing and kindness during these surreal times, posting on her Instagram earlier in March, “I love you world, we’ll all get through this.”All funds raised by the One World special event will go directly to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which is an initiative of the U.N. Foundation. The fund is used to support and equip healthcare workers around the world and provides financial support to vetted community charities that are providing food, shelter and other essentials during COVID-19.
