The Kennedy Centre Honours will return in December with a class that includes Motown Records creator Berry Gordy, Saturday Night Live mastermind Lorne Michaels and actress-singer Bette Midler.

Organisers expect to operate at full capacity, after last year’s ceremony was delayed for months and later conducted under Covid-19 restrictions.
