(DETROIT) At Sunset Point in Belle Isle, a tribute concert was held on Wednesday to honor frontline workers and the memory of those who lost their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Detroit News reports.

To kick off the concert, which was attended by about 80 people, event chair Wayne County Commissioner Monique Baker McCormick rang a bell and invited anyone to say prayers for the lost lives and for those who are helping to fight the virus.

Prior to the show, McCormick said the event would be “a perfect opportunity to relax, say thanks and remember our loved ones."

The list of performers included karaoke singers 'Mr. Jay' and Sam Burts, LaShell Renee, the Gwen Foxx Trio and Notorious.
