Camila says: "My heart is breaking for the people of Ukraine. As refugees from Ukraine join millions of others displaced around the globe, we all have a responsibility [...] We're focusing out efforts on [helping this effort] as quickly as we can."
The Concert For Ukraine will be held at the Resorts World Arena, Birmingham. All sponsorship and ad revenue for the event will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) - with viewers also able to donate directly during the live show.

This p*sses me off. It's only when something is/was in grave danger people "come together". I didn't see this humanitarian gig with Myanmar or Syria, but Ukraine? Sure.
I'm not at all against helping people in need or were unfairly stripped of basic needs, but Ukraine gets special treatment unlike other countries. See the iTunes UK home page? Ukraine support is shoved down our throats.
If I were a popular artist, I would refuse a performance because I am not directly affected and I'm not wasting my days/hours on a false kind of "feel-good" activity then I go back to my usual BS.
