KISS: Kennedy Center Honors Recipients
KISS will be recognized as Kennedy Center Honors recipients later this year.
It will be president Donald Trump’s first Honors ceremony since appointing himself chairman of the board of the Kennedy Center. Trump, who made the announcement on Wednesday (8/13), will also host and produce the show, which recognizes and celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to American culture through performing arts.
“KISS is the embodiment of the American Dream,” stated KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons. “We are deeply honored to receive the Kennedy Center Honor.”
“From our earliest days, KISS has embodied the American ideal that all things are possible and that hard work pays off,” added guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley,
In addition to KISS Country music’s George Strait, actor Sylvester Stallone, singer Gloria Gaynor and actor-singer Michael Crawford will also be honored.
The annual ceremony traditionally takes place in Washington, D.C. in December.
