The L.A. and London shows are pieces of the massive Global Citizen Live event that will span six continents and be broadcast over 24 hours on networks across the world, including BBC platforms and ABC.

“It is again my pleasure and honor to join with all of the artists who are using their gift of song to celebrate the Global Citizens’ event by doing our part in working against global warming, starvation, and singing for equality around the world,” said Wonder in a statement. “We are the village!”
