Why the nitpicking?

Many celebrities did absolutely nothing but pose and preen on social media. So we should applaud those who went out of their way to help others.

And who's to say John didn't donate anything? Lest we forget her personally donated $1 million to help fight the fires in Australia earlier this year.

Fair enough. Entertaining is what they do. If they do it for charity, so much the better. People need diversions in hard times.

But maybe the $8mil it raised will.

Sure, it would have been amazing. I wonder what sum came from the little person? We don't have much left to give :(

Elton, I know you organised the concert and all, but the icing on the cake would be you then matching the 8 million.

This is a good read about how coronavirus has exposed the true colours of many celebrities (not implicating Elton here).
