US President Donald Trump has announced that this year's Kennedy Center honours will include the action film star Sylvester Stallone, one of Hollywood’s best-known Catholics.
In a break with tradition, the US president will also host the award ceremony this December in Washington, DC, an event that is regarded as bestowing "one of the country's highest recognitions of artists", reports the BBC.
In addition to Stallone, it was also announced that this year’s Kennedy Centre honours will include stage actor Michael Crawford, singers George Strait and Gloria Gaynor, and the rock band KISS.
