They all already make a lot of money...

That's what we need right now, more f*king liberal celebrities.

Why is it white performers always do the free shows? They do the USO tours and what not. Where are the black artists and performers I’m on the lookout for a MissyElliott party or gimme some Busta rhymes..

'Tiny Dancer' may be my favorite from the team of John and Taupin. via YouTube

Thank you Sir Elton John. I love you. Keep it away from Trump. He'll steal it

3L3V3NTH Wait, just do a telethon like in the old days. Don't do what the nurses and Dr are telling u not to do. They don't want you going out and especially not having large crowds of people spreading the virus so that more people have to go to hospital. Do not have a concert.

We need to do the same for grocery store employees & staffer.

bisping Might work if he payed ppl to stay home !!

Elton John is worth $550,000,000—he could pony up 75% of his net worth and get all his multi-millionaire and billionaire pals to do the same instead of holding some stupid fundraiser for regular, struggling people to donate their money to so he can gain attention. He’s sick.

How will he be doing this; in a huge crowded setting to spread the virus or will he be doing this online?

Why is PrayForTheInfected not a thing yet*?

bisping Who the fuck is going to show up?

I don't give a fck. Most medical ppl are crazy

That very nice. Thank you stay well

You forgot to mention it’s only on Fox networks.

😍😍😍😍😍
