Coronavirus: Coldplay, John Legend And Other Artists Offer Free Online Concerts
As social distancing and self-isolation becomes a reality for many of us around the world, in the face of a global outbreak, people are looking for ways to entertain themselves at home while staying safe and positive.
With sooo many concerts and events being cancelled over the Coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, some famous musicians have come up with creative ways to still connect with fans. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, recently started a trend, when he live-streamed a mini concert from his home on 16 March. Thanks to him, other artists have jumped on the wagon and started scheduling their own mini shows.

Chris Martin’s band members may not have been around, but that didn’t stop the star from playing an intimate concert for fans on his Instagram Live. The 43 year-old singer was even open to taking requests from his audiences watching. He even played old hits like “Green Eyes,” which fans haven’t heard in a long time.
