KFIX Rock News: The Eagles’ Kennedy Center Honors Tribute Postponed Until 2016

The Eagles had been announced as one of the honorees for this year’s Kennedy Center Honors, but their tribute now will not take place until 2016.

The Kennedy Center announced the postponement Wednesday, citing Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey’s health.

“The Kennedy Center has graciously agreed to postpone the Eagles’ award presentation until next year, when all four Eagles, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit, can attend,” its statement reads.

Frey reportedly is facing surgery due to intestinal issues.

The 2015 Kennedy Center Honors gala, scheduled for December 6, in Washington, D.C., will salute Carole King, filmmaker George Lucas, actress and singer Rita Moreno, conductor Seiji Ozawa, and actress and Broadway star Cicely Tyson.
