Celebrity Power‑Up: The “IHeart Living Room Concert for America”

On Sunday, the highest‑profile team of stars will turn their living rooms into a stage for a one‑hour show that’s all about saving lives, one donation at a time.

Who’s in the lineup?

  • Mystery diva Mariah Carey (belinda) – aka “The Queen of the Call‑Out‑Back
  • Future‑star Billie Eilish – who still listens to herself singing from her bedroom
  • Country legend Tim McGraw – pulling out half a horsepower from his sofa
  • And a do‑you‑know‑Elton John host that’ll put the folks on the edge of their seats

Other guest stars to make your heart sing

  • Alicia Keys (the “You’re so sweet!” goddess)
  • Backstreet Boys (the ultimate layer‑ed team reading from the past)
  • Billie Joe Armstrong – Green Day’s voice of “BTC‑TUB-ANK”

What’s a “Living Room Concert”?

All the singers will self‑record – think a phone on a tripod, a mic in a plastic bottle, or the meticulous talent of using a plain webcam. The footage will be · 1:00‑hour wild‑ride to your living room.

Why we’re doing it

In a world where hospitals are being swamped, the IHeart Live‑Room Concert for America pays tribute to the unsung heroes on the front lines: nurses, clinicians, and the everyday people who keep the world moving.

It also doubles as a fundraising blitz for two charities who deserve a round of applause:

  • Feeding America – to keep the plates full.
  • First Responders Children’s Foundation – bringing hope to families that need it most.

How to help

Hit the donation button on the Fox website; the money will jump straight into the charities. No “not‑so‑big‑plays” are required – the best gift is a small contribution from each of you that adds up to massive relief.

Why this gets a thumbs‑up

When the COVID‑19 crisis turned the country to lockdown, artists pivoted on‑the‑fly:

  • John Legend performed like a superstar at home.
  • Chris Martin of Coldplay streamed rap‑in‑the‑living‑room sets.
  • James Taylor quietly donated a million dollars to Massachusetts General Hospital.
  • Rihanna helped the healthcare frontliners bulk‑up the food and safety kits.

When and Where

• Sunday at 9 pm EDT / 6 pm PDT (0100 GMT on Monday)

• Hosted on FOX TV and streamed live on the iHeart radio stations
