“We’re deeply moved by the heartfelt tribute from @madonna during her Celebration Tour performance of Live to Tell, honouring the 40.4 million people we’ve lost to AIDS,” reads a statement posted on the foundation’s Instagram page.
“Thank you, Madonna, for your advocacy and compassion, and for raising important awareness of the ongoing mission to end AIDS. With 39 million people living with HIV today, 9.4 million of whom are not currently on life-saving treatment, we must keep using our voices and platforms to ensure everyone has the opportunity to live full and healthy lives.”
Elton John founded EJAF in the ’90s and the non-profit organisation is chaired by his husband David Furnish. The foundation supports HIV prevention and education programmes and offers care and support to people living with or at risk of HIV.
