Diplo (you know, the guy who accidentally live-streamed Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s wedding) announced that he’ll be broadcasting nightly DJ sets from the comfort of his home.

“Last night I invited Rhye over for the first Corona Sabbath (We made that up because we had iron on t-shirt letters…maybe it will stick). While we’re all in self-imposed quarantine and I’m grounded from playing shows I am going to get creative and make up random sets and shows live from my house.”

7. Rob Thomas

The singer shared a video of himself playing the guitar, calling it a “Social Distancing Session.”

“During these uncertain times the entire world is shutting itself down,” he wrote. “Part of that means that people aren’t going out and enjoying live music or any entertainment. I’m kicking this off and I invite all my brothers and sisters in the music world to go on Instagram and share a little something with people to help them while they hunker down in their homes.”
