Elton John is teaming with iHeartMedia and Fox for the "Living Room Concert for America," a music event to support health professionals and first responders.

John will host the event, which will feature performances from Alicia Keys, Backstreet Boys, Billie Eilish, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mariah Carey, Tim McGraw and more to be announced.

Much like Rosie O'Donnell's Broadway gathering last weekend, the artists will appear and perform from their own homes, using their own phones, cameras and audio equipment.

The concert will air commercial-free at 9 p.m. EST March 29 on Fox during what was originally the broadcast slot for the iHeartRadio Music Awards. The show can also be heard on iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide as well as the iHeartRadio app.

Viewers will be encouraged to support some of the charities helping victims and first responders, including Feeding America and First Responders Children's Foundation.
