Tribute to Johnny Cash Planned
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A musical tribute to Johnny Cash will be held Nov. 10 at the Ryman Auditorium.
Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Sheryl Crow, Hank Williams Jr., Jack Clement, Steve Earle, Larry Gatlin and Cash's daughter, Rosanne, are scheduled to perform, Cash publicist Lou Robin said Thursday.
Discussions also are under way with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Bono, Robin said.

"The family just wanted to give the public closure to their feelings about John's death," Robin said.
Cash died Sept. 12 at age 71 of complications from diabetes.
