<p>Paul said he was <em>“very honoured”</em> to be involved and paid tribute to the <em>“true heroes: our health care workers all around the world”.</em></p>
<p>He then demanded global action to prevent further health crises.</p>
<p><em>“As this Covid-19 pandemic is a global crisis, we all have to come together to fight it on a global scale,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“Let’s tell our leaders we need them to strengthen the health care systems all around the world so that a crisis like this never happens again.”</em></p>
<p>The revered rocker then paid tribute to his mother, Mary, who worked as a nurse and midwife before and after the Second World War.</p>
<p><em>“My mother Mary was a nurse and midwife just after and during the second World War, so I have a lot of time for the doctors, the nurses and all the medical staff that keep us healthy. We love you, thank you,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>Paul then performed a heartfelt version of Beatles hit Lady Madonna.</p>
<p>He was joined during the One World: Together At Home broadcast by an array of stars, including Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Elton John, as well as Lady Gaga who curated the event.</p>
