Lady Gaga., Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli and John Legend joined forces with pianist Lang Lang for a show-stopping rendition of The Prayer to close the Together Alone concert.

Compared to the subdued songs that preceded it, it was a relatively screechy performance, but the lyrics were apposite for a concert that highlighted the immense personal cost of the coronavirus epidemic.

Going into the eight-hour show, it was hard to know what to expect.

The technical challenge of putting together a "concert" from people's living rooms must have been immense - and there was always a danger the event would have seemed flaky and under-cooked.

In the end, however, it was saved by a combination of ingenuity and sincerity, not to mention the presence of some of pop's biggest names.

The entire extravaganza can be re-watched on streaming platforms right now. In the UK, BBC One will be showing a cut-down of the best bits on Sunday night, combined with new and exclusive performances from the likes of Little Mix and Tom Jones.

You can get full details of that programme here.

The song was originally written about Swift's mother, who has been fighting cancer, but the lyrics are bound to resonate with anyone who has a friend, relative or loved one in hospital right now.

It was a simple performance, with Swift sitting at a piano, her eyes determinedly closed throughout the song - but somehow that made it all the more emotional.

No wonder they held this one back until the closing moments of the broadcast.

Like many artists, Billie Eilish opted to play a cover of a song that's helped lift her spirits during the lockdown.

The star, who was forced to scrap her world tour just days after the opening date, gave a soulful rendition of Bobby Hebb's Sunny.

"I love this song," said the teenager. "It’s always warmed my heart and made me feel good, and I wanted to make you guys feel good, too."

Eilish was joined by her brother Finneas, who accompanied her on a vintage Wurlitzer electronic piano from their parents' house in LA.

Interspersed among the musical performances are heartfelt speeches about the courage and resilience of medical professionals workers around the world.

"We all appreciated health care workers, but never like now," said Oprah Winfrey in one video. "When there are lives at stake, their first thoughts are not about themselves, but for others. They truly are the best of us."

Former first ladies Laura Bush and Michelle Obama spoke together about the "spirit and courage" of America's citizens.

"During this difficult period of physical separation, we've never been closer," they said.

Meanwhile Bill and Melinda Gates gave an update on the efforts their foundation is taking to halt the spread of the virus.

"The eventual end comes when we have a vaccine," said Bill. "There's a lot of vaccine candidates that we're backing and I'm optimistic by late next year one of those will come out - and we need to make sure that [it] gets out to everyone in the world."

Not everyone on the Together Alone concert has a home studio or the ability to play with their regular band, so we've seen some creative approaches throughout the show.

Keith Urban, who is self-isolating with his wife Nicole Kidman, became his own backing band - with three Keiths all playing simultaneously on a cover of Steve Winwood's Higher Love.

John Legend put together a clever video for his single Bigger Love, featuring several dancers interacting despite being in self-isolation (with a glorious twist right at the end).

And chat show host Jimmy Fallon teamed up with his house band The Roots and dozens of healthcare workers for a coronavirus-themed cover of Men Without Hats' Safety Dance.

"We can dance, we can dance, everybody's washing their hands," the rewritten lyrics declared.

The outbreak has changed the way we all live and work - and, as a result, it's given us a whole new, unprecedented set of problems.

What if you can't stand your partner, now that you're in lockdown together and can no longer ignore their annoying traits? Or worse - what if you broke up just before the order to stay at home, and are now awkwardly stuck under the same roof?

If you're lucky enough to work from home, how do you deal with difficult children - or a boss who likes to micromanage you remotely?

What if you still have to go in to work - and your boss won't let you wear a mask?

What if your parents are driving you crazy?

Or what if you just feel really lonely?

Frankly, this is a time when we could all use some advice and support - so we spoke to some of the US's favourite advice columnists, to find out what problems are bothering their readers the most - and what advice they have.

There was no lengthy premable from Mick Jagger as the Rolling Stones as they joined the concert.

“Here’s one I hope you know," said the singer. "You can join in if you want.”

And with that, the band launched into their 1968 hit You Can't Always Get What You Want, all from separate locations - and with a bit of help from a backing track, since drummer Charlie Watts only had a few flight cases and a decrepit armchair to bash from his front room.

In addition to the musical performances, Together At Home is speaking to people on the forefront of the fight against coronavirus.

Among them was Sanam Ahmed, a critical care physician in New York, who spoke of how the nightly cheers that resonate around the city had boosted her spirits.

“I was able to stop a few times and listen to it. It really brought a happy tear to my eye. It was a nice way to go into work.”

Asked by host Stephen Colbert if she had a message to people whose loved ones were in hospital, she replied: "I want people to know that if you can’t hold your mom’s hand, I’m there to hold her hand.

"The nurses and the doctors, we’re all there to tell your mom, your dad, your loved one, that you love them and we’re there for them."

As we approach the end of the day, here's what happened in the United States on Saturday.

• President Trump said the US has a lower coronavirus death toll than many other countries on a "per capita" basis, whilst in the same briefing accusing Democrats of having "anti-Israel" beliefs
• The Canada-US land border will stay closed for an additional 30 days for non-essential travel. The closure was set to expire on Tuesday
• Public spaces, included parks and beaches, have been opened up in Jacksonville, Florida and images have shown many people gathering in close proximity to each other. Duval County, where Jacksonville is located, has recorded 817 cases of coronavirus
• More protests are being arranged as people call for an end to the lockdown across the US
• New York governor Andrew Cuomo has criticised the protesters and called for an end to politicising coronavirus
• And a national helpline in the US has seen a dramatic increase in people getting in touch - an 891% increase in calls

Pop star Beyoncé hasn't performed during the Together At Home concert, but she did send a video message, in which she highlighted that Covid-19 is disproportionately affecting African-American citizens.

Data from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that 33% of people who've been taken to hospital with the virus are African-American, yet only 13% of the US population is African-American.

"This virus is killing black people at an alarmingly high rate here in America," said the singer, citing a separate report suggesting that, in her home city of Houston, Texas, 57% of fatal Covid-19 cases are among African-Americans.

She said the impact was particularly high because black Americans "disproportionately belong to essential parts of the workforce, that do not have the luxury of working from home," including delivery workers, mail carriers and sanitation employees.

"Please protect yourselves," she concluded. "We are one family and we need you."

"I’m very honoured to be part of this programme tonight that celebrates the true heroes: The healthcare workers all around the world.

"As this Covid-19 pandemic is a global crisis, we all have to come together to fight it on a global scale. Let’s tell our leaders that we need them to strengthen the healthcare systems all around the world so a crisis like this never happens again.

"My mother Mary was a nurse and a midwife just after and during the Second World War, so I have a lot of time for the doctors, the nurses and all the medical staff who keep us healthy.

"We love you. Thank you."

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, children have been making rainbows to post in their windows, showing support for the community, the health service and to help keep people smiling.

Kacey Musgraves acknowledged the effort by performing Rainbow - the closing track of her Grammy Award-winning album Golden Hour - during the Together At Home concert.

The country star was originally inspired to write the song for herself, as she realised she'd become so used to disappointment that she found it hard to adjust to life when things went right. It later transformed into an anthem of hope for anyone in the midst of dark times, and was warmly embraced by the LGBT community.

Tonight's rendition gave another dimension to the song, as people around the world look for solace in dark times.

There were no punches pulled as the main Together At Home broadcast kicked off just after midnight GMT.

Lady Gaga was first to play, delivering an upbeat version of Charlie Chaplin's Smile (though your heart is aching) that she dedicated to first responders and healthcare workers.

She was followed swiftly by Motown legend Stevie Wonder, who played Lean On Me - written by Bill Withers who died earlier this month (although his death was not related to coronavirus).

"During hardships like this we have to lean on each other for help," said the singer. "My friend, the late Bill Withers, has the perfect song about that and I want us to remember him tonight."

Next up was Paul McCartney, who said healthcare workers were the "real heroes", and likened the medical response during the Covid-19 pandemic to the circumstances his mother, Mary, worked in as a nurse during World War 2.

He went on to play the Beatles hit Lady Madonna, while images of doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers flashed up on the screen.

Shortly before the main TV concert kicked off, Lady Gaga popped up on the pre-show livestream with a message to the front-line workers who the concert will benefit.

"Over the past few weeks we’ve witnessed unbelievable acts of bravery, courage and kindness all around the world in response to this global pandemic," said the star, who has curated tonight's line-up.

"Everyone from the doctors and nurses on the front lines to the volunteer mental health specialists, the grocery store workers, the delivery workers, the mail workers, have all shown unprecedented levels of kindness throughout the fight against Covid-19

"In partnership with Global Citizen and the World Health Organisation we have already raised millions of dollars for the WHO’s solidarity response fund.

"We want to get to the other side of this pandemic and we know you do too.

"But tonight is not a fund-raiser, so put your wallets away. The event that we are bringing to you… is our love letter to the world.

"The incredible artists we’ve got lined up are all here to say thank you, to celebrate you, to give back a little bit of the kindness that you’ve given us."

It's not just musicians lending their time to the Together At Home concert.

WWE stars Braun Strowman, Xavier Woods, Becky Lynch filmed a (mildly threatening) sequence urging viewers to wash their hands; while earlier David Beckham lifted the spirits of some young fans by calling them up to offer some football tips.

Meanwhile, there've been musical contributions from Puerto Rico's Luis Fonsi, who played his international smash Despacito, and country stars Lady Antebellum, who recorded a version of What I'm Leaving For while isolated in two different US states.

For those wondering, that's no easy task. I recently spoke to Scottish band Chvrches after they posted a "separate but together" recording of their song Forever - and they admitted the process was a "nightmare", with Zoom doing strange things to timing and tempo that made it impossible to play together.

The end result, which they called "a bit of a Frankenstein thing", turned our pretty well all the same.

But that's definitely something to bear in mind when you're watching these performances at home.

Korean pop band SUPERM put together one of the most technically ambitious videos for the Together At Home concert, with all seven members filming contributions from their living rooms, kitchens and home gyms.

"Even though we’re miles apart from each other, we’re still thankful to connect together at home," said Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul - aka Ten.

The singer then drew a unique piece of art with a message to fans during the band's three-minute performance. A neat touch.

"This is a pandemic that respects no borders or walls or political persuasions, so it’s something we have a responsibility to tackle together," said Irish singer Hozier as he joined the Together Alone concert.

So it was good to see him keeping a respectable 2 metres away from his pianist as he played Take Me To Church...

Pop star Ellie Goulding opened up about how the lockdown is affecting her, while appearing on the One World: Together At Home concert.

"I can get quite anxious," said the singer. "I’m finding it really hard.

"If you're anything like me, you love to go exploring, love to walk, love to be out in the sunshine."

But she added that "music has really saved me" while she was stuck indoors.

"I’ve been listening to a lot of old music from the 40s and 50s which for some reason just makes me feel really happy."

Goulding went on to play an acoustic version of her hit single Burn, but not before looking into the camera and cringing: "I just became aware that I look like I’m wearing a carpet."

There's about an hour of the pre-show to go before the main Together At Home concert begins. You can watch the livestream below.

In what has been a press conference full of confrontational remarks, Trump also took aim at another familiar target.

“I’ve seen a great disparity in this country,” he said. “I’ve seen a very strong anti-israel bent in Congress with Democrats.

“It was unthinkable seven or eight or 10 years ago and now they’re into a whole different thing.”

He then named “AOC plus three” - meaning Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley as well as Ilhan Omar, a Somali-born lawmaker on whom he has in the past focused much of his criticism.

“I mean, the things that they say about Israel are so bad and I can’t believe it,” he said.

Of course, none of the above have had an opportunity to respond to these comments.
