After surprisingly putting their alleged feud behind them, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Drake further astonished the music world by announcing in November that they're joining forces to perform at the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert. Aiming to "raise awareness of the need for prison and sentencing reform," the event is Ye's first headlining concert in five years, with Drake as the special guest.

Although the concert is taking place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, viewers will also be able to watch it live for free tonight (Thursday, Dec. 9) on Amazon Prime Video, after Amazon nabbed exclusive rights to stream the concert. Starting at 8 p.m. PT/11 p.m. ET, you can stream the concert on Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music, and Amazon's Music's channel on Twitch, the Amazon-owned platform without cost.

IMAX will also live stream the benefit concert in select theaters across the United States in an exclusive, one-night-only IMAX Live event. Prime Video members will, however, be able to rewatch the concert on-demand exclusively on the Amazon-owned platform, and if you don't have a Prime Video membership, it's included in your Amazon Prime subscription, or can be purchased separately for $8.99 per month.

"We're extremely proud to be working with Kanye and Drake on this historic concert in support of a cause they are both so passionate about, and to collaborate across Amazon for this epic entertainment event," said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios.

"Kanye and Drake have spent their careers pushing boundaries and defining culture, and we're excited to give fans around the world a front row seat to this concert," added Tim Hinshaw, head of hip-hop and R&B at Amazon Music. "We have made Amazon Music and Prime Video destinations where artists can make their most ambitious ideas a reality — this concert is just the latest example."

Stream the concert here tonight at Prime Video, Amazon Music, and Twitch, starting at 8 p.m. ET/11 p.m. ET.

Stand From Destroyed Kharkiv Stadium Displayed In Munich To Mark Ukraine's Appearance At EURO 2024
Stand From Destroyed Kharkiv Stadium Displayed In Munich To Mark Ukraine's Appearance At EURO 2024. Before the Ukrainian national team’s first match of EURO 2024, the Ukrainian Association of Football displayed a destroyed stand from Kharkiv's Sonyachny stadium at the Wittelsbacherplatz in Munich. Sonyachny was originally built for EURO 2012, and was destroyed by Russian troops in May 2022. The damaged stand has travelled across Europe to testify to the world that football is not immune from the war to date, 500 sports infrastructure facilities in Ukraine have suffered from Russian bombings and missile strikes. "When I was the coach of the national team, we often came to Kharkiv for training; we prepared for the EURO 2021 qualifiers at Sonyachny,” says Ukrainian football legend Andriy Shevchenko. ”However, even if football pitches or stands cannot withstand Russian shells, we will never stop standing for our country and telling the world about this ruthless war.” Unfortunately, Ukraine suffered a surprise defeat in their first match, losing 3-0 against Romania.
