Singer-songwriter Bright Light Bright Light is hosting a three-hour Grace Jones livestream DJ set to raise funds for charity.
The star had planned to throw the event on Wednesday night and, in light of the ongoing protests in America following the death of George Floyd, he’ll be splitting $300 – plus any donations – between two organisations.
“For tonight I’d planned a@gracejones DJ set,” he tweeted. “I’ll be donating $300 from myself and all donations/tips to #BlackLivesMatter (50%) and Freedom / Bail funds via ActBlue (50%).
