New Zealand singer Brooke Fraser has announced that she will be live-streaming a benefit concert to help Kiwis musicians who are struggling during the pandemic.

Kiwi musicians' work has halted as the country continues to be in lockdown in a bid to stamp out Covid-19.

This has prompted the popular singer, also known as Brooke Ligertwood, to raise money with Music Helps Live, to help bring relief to musicians impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
