Amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, international artists continue to put a smile on their fans’ faces through online concerts.

Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin kicked off #TogetherAtHome with a mini gig on his Instagram live. In his 30-minute set, he sang acoustic renditions of Trouble, A Sky Full of Stars and a David Bowie cover. 

His livestream was uploaded on the band’s social media account right after his set.

“I was supposed to be with the band Coldplay today, from which I come but we’re stuck in different countries. We can’t play together. So, I thought, it would be nice for me check in with some of you out there to see how you’re doing, where you are and what I could do for you,” he started. 

The All of Me singer John Legend followed suit with an almost hour-long set. He was accompanied by his wife Chrissy Teigen.

“Social distancing is important, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. I did a little at-home performance to help lift your spirits,” he said. 

Australian singer-songwriter Keith Urban joined in on the trend with an online concert from their warehouse. His “live audience” was his wife, Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman.
