2016 Kennedy Center Honors, Saluting the Eagles, James Taylor and Others
The 39th annual Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, last night in Washington, D.C.
The Eagles originally were to have been saluted at the 2015 edition of the Kennedy Center Honors, but that was postponed because founding singer/guitarist Glenn Frey was experiencing serious health issues that sadly claimed his life this past January.
The gala to air this 27 December on CBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
