Lionel Richie is planning to revive the star-studded aid anthem, We Are The World, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

As the coronavirus continues to spread, the world needs a unifying anthem. And for Lionel Richie, that anthem is 1985's "We Are the World," which lent a hand to famine in Africa.Richie, who wrote the song with Michael Jackson, told People that he is thinking of the chorus, which has the line "There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives," during this difficult time.

The world is in need of some unity amid the coronavirus pandemic — and Lionel Richie thinks a re-release of «We Are the World» might do the trick. 

"The message is so clear."

It has been 35 years this month since “We Are the World” was recorded by over 40 stars to raise money for African famine.
