The Weeknd hailed being asked to perform “an honour”.
The ‘Blinding Lights’ hitmaker said: “It is very important to me to be a part of this historic event to spread awareness and encourage action toward helping the people of Ethiopia during this devastating humanitarian crisis they are faced with. It’ll be an honour to perform and help bring support to these citizens who are suffering so severely.”
Andrea Bocelli is also part of the line up and is “very excited” to be involved.
He said: “I am honoured to join forces with Global Citizen once again for this incredible event. The challenges we face in the world will require us to work together to find solutions.
“This global concert event is a beautiful representation of unity and I have always believed that our voices have the power to drive meaningful change. I’m very excited to participate.”
