#ImWithHer Fundraiser Featuring Sir Elton John and Katy Perry
Some 6,000 people packed Radio City Music Hall for an "I'm With Her" rally that also featured Andra Day and on-stage appearances by other Clinton supporters, including Oscar-winners Jamie Foxx and Julianne Moore, plus brief remarks by former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton.
Sir Elton John dedicated his son “Still Standing” to Hillary stating: “I cannot wait for Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States.”

And Perry capping off the evening, singing “Unconditionally.”
“I sing this next song for her because I do believe this woman shows unconditional love,” Perry said of Clinton, who was in the audience. Bill and Chelsea Clinton were in attendance as well; at one point the former President took the stage to proclaim of his wife, “I want you to stay with her. Nominate her!” Billboard
