Common<\/a> delivered a set as part of Global Citizen and the World Health Organization\u2019s ongoing \u2018Together at Home\u2019 concert series from his living room on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis \u2018Together at Home\u2019 thing I got really excited about because, you know for me, when a lot is going on, in the world or even within myself, dealing with a lot of things \u2014 music has always been something that brings me peace and I always get to enjoy it with other people,\u201d he said to open his livestream. He also encouraged people watching at home that \u201cwe will be all right,\u201d and to \u201cwash our hands, take care of ourselves, take care of each other, be aware social distancing is something that we\u2019re into. Spread love with the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rapper broadcast on Instagram Live, where he played a bit on a keyboard before saying, \u201cAs you can see, I\u2019m not a piano player \u2026 I\u2019m not John [Legend], I\u2019m not Chris [Martin],\u201d he joked mentioning his fellow artists who also participated in the \u2018Together at Home\u2019 series, before he picked up a mic to freestyle and perform tunes. Accompanied by DJ Dummy, Common delivered a number of songs as well as took requests. Among them were \u201cOne-Nine-Nine-Nine,\u201d \u201cTake it EZ\u201d and \u201cI Used to Love H.E.R.\u201d<\/p>\n

Common\u2019s set came immediately on the heels of a performance from Niall Horan. The two artists were \u201cnominated\u201d to participate in the series by Charlie Puth, who delivered a 30-minute virtual set<\/a> on Wednesday. The other two artists to partake in the series so far have been John Legend and Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization and Global Citizen launched the Together At Home sessions to benefit their Solidarity Response Fund<\/a>, which is raising money for preparedness and response efforts to fight the coronavirus<\/a> outbreak. The at-home concerts notably offer music fans stuck at home the chance to gather in a virtual space now that the coronavirus has caused a slew of tour and festival cancellations<\/a> throughout the world.<\/p>\n
