Drake was among the many Canadian stars who turned out for Sunday's Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble benefit show Sunday night, a 90-minute music event that raised money for Food Banks Canada, says the Hollywood Reporter.
Appearing from his Toronto home, the rapper thanked hospital and frontline workers. "It's inspiring to see people leave their families every day and go to work amid this crisis, as dangerous as it is. ... So thank you for that," Drake said. Justin Bieber offered his "love and prayers" while isolating with wife Hailey in Ontario.
Michael Bublé, Barenaked Ladies and Sofia Reyes teamed up for the song "Gotta Be Patient, Enjoy the Confination!", while Celine Dion performed "Courage."
Alessia Cara, Sarah McLachlan, Anne Murray, David Foster, and Shania Twain also performed, while actors and other celebs including Ryan Reynolds were on hand. "If there's one thing Canada is good at, it's taking care of one another," Reynolds said.
Jason Priestley, Howie Mandel, Eric McCormack, Mike Myers, Kiefer Sutherland, Robbie Robertson, Margaret Atwood, the cast of Schitt's Creek, and Will Arnett alongside his American-born ex-wife, Amy Poehler, also appeared on the special, which was broadcast on all of Canada's major television networks.
