Lee Greenwood to Newsmax: Honored to Sing Before Trump Takes Oath

Country legend Lee Greenwood, who has been a focal point at President-elect Donald Trump’s rallies over the past year, will perform his signature song, “God Bless the USA” just before Trump takes the oath of office. Greenwood said Saturday his performance is a “great privilege.”

“We came in yesterday and this town is on fire,” Greenwood told Newsmax “Saturday Report” anchor Rita Cosby. “Washington D.C. is all about Donald Trump taking office, and I will be singing directly before he puts his hand on the Bible.”
