The world’s biggest stars in music came together for “Global Goal: Unite For Our Future” on Saturday (June 27th), in Global Citizen’s star-studded virtual concert.
The online concert aimed to recognise communities affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.
It’s time to fight for the world we need.

Probably one of the most exciting parts of the event was when Usher proved his talent and kindness has no limit, as he dropped his new single 'I Cry' and announced that the proceeds from the record would be donated to charity.

Justin Bieber even thanked Justin Trudeau for getting involved with the project, so it's safe to say it was a huge success.
Thanks for answering the call @JustinTrudeau . I’m a proud Canadian. Look forward to performance today @GlblCtzn https://t.co/RyTSipu7W1
