Harry and Meghan will rub shoulders with celebs including the Foo Fighters and J-Lo at the concert hosted by Selena Gomez.
Vax Live is being billed as an event to “reunite the world” with performances from a host of stars.
It is not yet clear what the couple will bring to the table at the music concert but they have been given a title of “campaign chairs”.
They will lead a drive to raise money for COVAX – a vaccine-sharing program co-led by the World Health Organization.
Speaking on their Archwell site, Meghan and Harry said: “Over the past year, our world has experienced pain, loss, and struggle—together. Now we need to recover and heal—together. We can’t leave anybody behind.
“We will all benefit, we will all be safer, when everyone, everywhere has equal access to the vaccine.
“We must pursue equitable vaccine distribution, and in that, restore faith in our common humanity. This mission couldn’t be more critical or important.”
The news was also confirmed by pal Omid Scobie on his Twitter today.
He said: “Harry and Duchess Meghan will join @selenagomez, @JLo
and more at #VaxLive on May 8 — a concert celebrating the hope that Covid-19 vaccines are offering families and communities around the world.
“The event will call on leaders to make sure vaccines are accessible for ALL”.
The organisation tweeted: “#VaxLive is almost here!
“On May 8, join us, @SelenaGomez, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, @JLo, @FooFighters, and more for a show with big names and an even bigger message: everyone, everywhere deserves access to a COVID-19 vaccine”.
