As musicians around the world continue to rally together during the global pandemic, The Boss is the latest legendary musician to announce he'll be leading a star-studded charity concert to raise money and keep fan's spirits up.

Appearing on Good Morning America this week, Bruce Springsteen revealed his own fundraiser called Jersey 4 Jersey.

The online concert hopes to raise vital money for his home state's New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund to fight the medical, social, and economic impact of COVID-19 on the state's most vulnerable communities.

"New Jersey has been hit especially hard by the coronavirus pandemic, and the people of New Jersey have always stepped up during difficult times," Springsteen said.
