The Stones join a lineup that includes Celine Dion, Billie Eilish, John Legend, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Chris Martin, Andrea Bocelli and Michael Buble. The television broadcast will be preceded by a six-hour live streaming event with appearances by major sports stars and dozens of other singers, actors and social media influencers.
