What Are Our Favourite Famous People Up To Right Now?
COVID-19 has hit the entertainment industry hard. But some stars continue to shine from their live-streaming screens
Everyone is equal, this pandemic season. Even if it is only in the way that we, all, have to stay home. The stars, too, are not out anymore. They are home, quarantined and live-streaming!
Here are a few of our favourite famous people who are making lemonade out of life’s lemons.
Robbie Williams
This English singer-songwriter has been live-streaming on Instagram, even obliging song requests from his followers all over the world. On what Williams calls “Corona-oke”, he performed his own music, including those from Elvis Presley, Oasis and others. If you have always wanted to watch this ’90s heartthrob perform live, you can do so now from the comfort of your quarantine.
Instagram live stories are available on the platform for 24 hours, but the good people of Twitter have recorded bits of the live stream.
