James Taylor, Mavis Staples and the surviving members of The Eagles were among the honorees at the Kennedy Center Honors gala on December 5 in Washington DC. The Eagles were originally selected to be honored in 2015, but deferred their participation to this year due to Glenn Frey’s poor health. Frey died in January at the age of 67. Don Henley paid tribute to Frey at the ceremony. “I want to dedicate this evening to our brother Glenn,” he stated. “He was so much a part of our success. He was the driving force in the band. He believed in the American dream.” The evening also included performances of Eagles music by Bob Seger, Vince Gill and Kings of Leon. Sheryl Crow, Garth Brooks and Darius Rucker also performed songs by James Taylor. Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
