Kris Kristofferson will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame next week with help from Faith Hill and Willie Nelson.
Hill and Nelson will perform in a tribute to the 68-year-old Kristofferson on "The 38th Annual CMA Awards," to air live on CBS Tuesday night from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tenn.
"Kris Kristofferson has an incredible body of work as a songwriter and performer," Country Music Association Executive Director Ed Benson said in a statement.

"He is very deserving of this honor and recognition during the CMA Awards," Benson said. "The challenge was narrowing a lifetime of contributions he has made to this industry to a representative sampling of his work."
