Coldplay's Chris Martin kicked off a collaboration between the World Health Organisation and Global Citizen called Together, At Home or #togetherathome where artists are performing on live on Instagram.
Chris announced it was his first time 'doing this sort of thing' and look rather embarrassed as he kicked off the 30 minute performance.
He admitted he couldn't remember the chords for Amazing Day and attempted to play it but stopped a few seconds in. He then delved into Hymn for the Weekend.
He said: "I'm on my own, sort of, in the house where I am and so I thought, what would be nice would be to check in with some of you out there and see how you're doing and what I could do for you".
His set included hits like A Sky Full of Stars, Yellow and Viva La Vida.
John Legend performed Beauty and the Beast with his wife Chrissie Teigan and their daughter, Luna. His show was live on Instagram and has not yet been republished officially on other channels.
Meanwhile Keith Urban has been keeping fans entertained by his InstaBand performances, with even Nicole Kidman making an appearance.
Shawn Mendes is expected to be the next artist to be involved in #TogetheratHome.
