NASHVILLE, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Singer/actor/songwriter Kris Kristofferson will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame during Tuesday's 38th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville.
Faith Hill and Willie Nelson will take part in the tribute to Kristofferson.
"Kris Kristofferson has an incredible body of work as a songwriter and performer," said CMA Executive Director Ed Benson. "He is very deserving of this honor and recognition during the CMA Awards -- the challenge was narrowing a lifetime of contributions he has made to this industry to a representative sampling of his work."
Kristofferson has had seven CMA Award nominations and won Song of the Year in 1970 for "Sunday Morning Coming Down."
He also hosted the annual gala twice -- with Anne Murray in 1985 and in 1986 with Willie Nelson.
