Ricky Martin to headline World AIDS Day concert in Miami
Ricky Martin on Dec. 2 will headline the AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s annual World AIDS Day Concert. The event will take place at the Watsco Center at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla.
Every year, the AHF, the world’s largest HIV/AIDS healthcare organization, hosts its World AIDS Day Concert to honor those lost to HIV/AIDS, and bring attention to the global fight against HIV/AIDS.
The organization will host the concert one day after World AIDS Day, which takes place on Dec. 1. Ricky Martin — known globally as the “King of Latin Pop” — has long used his stardom to shed light on issues, having used his platform to advocate for and bring awareness to HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, and LGBTQ rights.
The Puerto Rico native came out as gay in 2010. “Ricky has shown a deep commitment to breaking stigma, educating youth, and empowering communities to take action,” the AHF said on a post on Instagram.
