On Saturday night, Channel Nine put to air a three-hour music extravaganza featuring Australia’s greatest home-grown talent in a concert called Music From The Home Front.
Broadcast on the night of Anzac Day, the special paid tribute to the Australian and New Zealand services, whilst also thanking the healthcare and essential workers on the COVID-19 frontline.
Featuring Guy Sebastian, Delta Goodrem and Jimmy Barnes – to name a few – it was a star-studded affair that many on social media hoped would become an annual tradition for the broadcaster.
Here are five moments you missed from the Australian COVID-19 concert.

He sang a unique rendition of ‘Working Class Man’ with his son, Jackie, brother-in-law Diesel, and son-in-law Ben Rodgers.
He also performed ‘When the War Is Over’ with his daughter, Mahalia Barnes. Plus, his son David Campbell was a co-host for the night.
A true family affair!

Obviously, this is the most important moment. Guy Sebastian was joined by his eight-year-old son, Hudson, who he shares with his wife, Jules Sebastian.
Viewers were obsessed with Guy's mini-me, posting to social media how adorable the pair were on screen.
