*A groundbreaking musical event, “Grace for the World,” will bring together a diverse array of global artists at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City.
Two-time Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson and Thai rapper BamBam of Kpop group Got7 join a lineup led by Pharrell Williams with the Voices of Fire Gospel Choir and Andrea Bocelli. Per THR, additional performers include John Legend, Karol G, Clipse, Teddy Swims, Jelly Roll, The Choir of the Diocese of Rome under Marco Frisina, and Angélique Kidjo, with an international choir directed by Grammy-winner Adam Blackstone.

At the time, Hudson said: “It is an unbelievable privilege to spend your days being able to engage with inspiring people from all walks of life; to hear their stories and connect on shared experiences; and to hopefully leave audiences a little more joyful than when they arrived.”
She added, “This show is a testament to what happens when you do what you love, and when you do it alongside an unstoppable team who creates magic in new ways every single day. I’m so excited to take this adventure to new heights in season 4!”
