Joel Osteen‘s still going big with his Easter service amid the coronavirus pandemic, but of course — for safety purposes — all the big names he’s recruited will be performing remotely … for a virtual service.
Sources close to Osteen tell TMZ … his Lakewood Church in Houston will welcome Kanye West, Mariah Carey and Tyler Perry on Easter Sunday to deliver messages of love and support to his massive audience.
Our sources say Mariah will be part of a special tribute to medical professionals and first responders putting their lives on the line in the battle against COVID-19. We’re told she’s going to sing her song “Hero” via webcam.
Perry’s plan is to deliver words of encouragement to the viewers during this trying time, and Kanye will be back with his choir to provide music for the service … all while practicing proper social distancing.
Our sources say Kanye and his Sunday Service crew will be performing in L.A. and it will be broadcast over Osteen’s megachurch feed.
It’s unclear if all these performances will be live or prerecorded, but either way … it will be one of the most star-studded church events ever.
