Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan lead a host of stars performing at a Nurse Heroes Thanksgiving charity concert.
The fundraising concert has been arranged by the Get On Your Feet hitmaker’s husband, producer and musician Emilio, and will take place on November 26th.
He tells Variety: “I’ve had the privilege of producing some very special concerts but the response from celebrities for Nurse Heroes has been extraordinary, combined they have over 450 million fans following them on social media.”
“Together we can change the future – with this concert we will help NurseHeroes.org fund programs including scholarships for nurses and their children.”
Stevie Wonder, Carole King, David Foster and Katharine McPhee, the Black Eyed Peas, Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Maluma and Pitbull are among the other stars on the bill for the virtual event, which is hosted by Whoopi Goldberg.
Billy Crystal and Oprah Winfrey will also make special appearances, while Taylor Swift has lent her support with a donation of a signed collectible edition Folklore guitar to be auctioned for the charity.
A choir of 50 nurses from Northwell Health will also perform as an ensemble with a number of stars.
Broadcast details have yet to be finalised for the show, although it’s currently slated to go out “worldwide” from 8 pm ET on Thanksgiving.
