This week started off on an uplifting note, as Sunday night (April 5) saw both the star-studded country special ACM Presents: Our Country and American Idol’s Top 20 (well, 21 — read on) reveal.
And on Monday, the World Health Organization announced another all-star special for April 18, curated by the one and only Lady Gaga.
Artists brought good vibes throughout the week, too: Cardi B and Rihanna offered big donations to the COVID-19 efforts, and Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes paid a virtual visit to kids in a Washington D.C.
hospital. But in the middle of the positive events came the tragic death of Americana icon John Prine, who sadly passed away from coronavirus complications on Tuesday (April 7).
