If you're looking for some new entertainment this weekend while staying home during the coronavirus pandemic, tune into the "Living Room Concert for America" from iHeartRadio on Sunday night.
Elton John is hosting the remote, hour-long concert, and there will be performances by Billie Eilish, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and the Backstreet Boys.
The celebrities will perform "from their own homes, filmed with their personal cell phones, cameras and audio equipment, to ensure the health and safety of all involved," the concert announcement states.
The concert will air on FOX at 9 p.m. on Sunday, which had been the time slot for the iHeartRadio Music Awards' original broadcast before it was postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis. It will be broadcast commercial-free.
Fans also can listen to the performances via the iHeartRadio app and on iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide – locally those include Q102, 102.9 MGK, 93.3 WMMR, 95.7 BEN FM and RADIO 104.5.
The "Living Room Concert" will pay tribute to health professionals and first responders who are fighting the spread of the virus. It also will encourage viewers to support Feeding America and First Responders Children's Foundation.
