A canceled Kennedy Center debut, a Carnegie Hall stage and De Niro reading 'Lincoln'

NEW YORK (AP) —Robert De Nirowill appear this week at Carnegie Hall, where he will recite excerpts from aPhilip Glasssymphony about Abraham Lincoln that the composer once intended to stage at the Kennedy Center.

Glass announced in January that he called off a scheduled premiere of Symphony No. 15, "Lincoln," in protest of President Donald Trump's ouster of the center's leadership.

Glass' symphony will be part of a benefit Tuesday night for Tibet House US, a nonprofit educational institution which announced the participation of De Niro, a prominent critic of Trump. Glass and Laurie Anderson are the evening's artistic directors.

"Lincoln" is based in part on one of Lincoln's earliest major speeches, the 1838 "Lyceum Address," when the future president assailed mob violence and warned of its dangers to democracy.

"I am so pleased Robert De Niro is going to read the Lincoln speech," Glass said in a statement. "He is absolutely the right person."

Renée Fleming,Lin-Manuel Mirandaand Bela Fleck are among the many other artists who have canceled Kennedy Center events.

Trump has renamed the facility as the Trump Kennedy Center, a change scholars say can only be enacted by Congress. The president, who has made the center a key part of his campaign against so-called "woke" culture, announced last month that the facility will be shut down in July for construction, a project he expects to last for two years.

"Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love, and I think there is apotential for it at any stage of your life," he said. "I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn't surprised that I did."

They've been steady supporters of each other's careers since then, with Ford giving her a heartfelt shout-out after receiving the Life Achievement Award at the 2026Actor Awardson March 1, when he thanked his "extraordinary beautiful wife Calista."Here's everything to know about Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart's relationship.

They met at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards

The actors met at the 59th Golden Globe Awards toward the beginning of 2002. At the time, Ford was still married to second wife Melissa Mathison, however they had filed for legal separation in 2001 and finalized their divorce in 2004.

During a May 2019 appearance onThe Late Late Show with James Corden,James Marsden— who costarred alongside Flockhart inAlly McBeal— spoke about being a third wheel on the couple's first date in 2002, when she invited him along for dinner and drinks at Ford's home.

"I'm a harbinger of a wonderful, long relationship," Marsden joked. "I take the credit for that."

They got married in 2010

Ford and Flockhart got engaged over Valentine's Day weekend in 2009.

After more than eight years together, the couple tied the knot in June 2010. Their nuptials took place at the Governor's Mansion in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

They share one child

Though Ford is a father of five, he and Flockhart share one child: son Liam.

Flockhart adopted Liam in 2001 just before meeting Ford. After Flockhart and Ford wed, theStar Warsactor formally adopted Liam.

In 2008, Ford spoke toReader's Digestabout feeling grateful that both Flockhart and Liam came into his life.

"She's brought a child back into my home," he said. "It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child's growing up, which is always an endless springtime."

The actor added, "[Calista] devoted herself to Liam and has done a really wonderful job raising him. I'm happy to now have a part of the job."

They have a shared love of flying

Ford, who has his pilot's license, has shared that he and Flockhart have a shared love of flying — and bonded about it in the early days of their relationship.

"Calista loves to fly, and I'm thrilled because it's so important to me and it's the kind of thing that's so much more fun with somebody who really enjoys it," Ford told PEOPLE in 2003. "Liam loves to fly. Calista likes the process, she likes what she sees from the air, she likes seeing me happy. I think a lot of it has to do with that she loves to see me doing something that I love."

In March 2015, Ford was injured when his vintage plane crashed near the Santa Monica airport. Flockhart told PEOPLE in August 2015 that while the crash was a "really hard, scary time" for their family, she still supports him.

"I think it just makes you realize once again that life can turn on a dime, and we just have to appreciate every second we're here, because you never know," she said.

They haven't appeared in any projects together

Though Ford and Flockhart share a love of acting, they aren't rushing to appear on-screen together. During a July 2025 conversation withVariety, Ford said he was open to the idea of working with Flockhart — on one condition.

"If we get to work together, we'dwant it to be someone else's idea," he said. "That kind of casting might not be the best way to bring people into an imagined situation, because [audiences] may say, 'Oh, I know they're married; now I'm not even thinking about the movie anymore.' "

He is grateful for her support

Ford has spoken about being grateful to have Flockhart as a support system, including giving her several shout-outs in acceptance speeches over the years.

"I want to thank my lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, who supports me when I need a lot of support," he said when accepting a career achievement award at the 2024Critics Choice Awards. "And I need a lot of support."

"I'm just spinning everywhere," Chmerkovskiy continued. "So when I'm on the bus, and it's moving... I just woke up and couldn't get myself together. Hopefully tomorrow's a day off, and I'll be back on Tuesday." In the caption of the post, Chmerkovskiy wrote, "Sorry my friends… small hiccup."

Jelly Roll Says He 'Flipped' His ATV and Broke His Collarbone Before 2026 Grammys, Wanted to 'Cry' and 'Scream' at Ceremony

Jelly Roll revealed that he injured his collarbone in an ATV accident shortly before the 2026 Grammy Awards in an Instagram post on Sunday, March 1

NEED TO KNOW

• The singer said he wanted to "scream" and "cry" every time someone hugged him following his wins at the ceremony on Feb. 1

• "Anyways, moral of the story, get back on that pony baby," said Jelly Roll of the incident and his fears of driving his ATV again

Jelly Rollis opening up about an injury that he sustained shortly before the2026 Grammy Awards, but chose to keep a "secret" from fans.

On Sunday, March 1, the "Save Me" singer, 41, spoke candidly in anInstagram videoabout being hesitant to ride an ATV again, as rolling his earlier this year left him with a broken collarbone.

In the clip, Jelly Roll was seen walking around the repaired ATV before sharing a photo of his X-ray, a snap of him on stage at theGrammy Awards, and the damaged vehicle before it was fixed.

"Y'all just took this thing out for the first time since I flipped it," said Jelly Roll. "I broke my collarbone. I was so scared to get back on this thing. I just knew if I didn't get back on it sooner than later, I was just going to be more and more afraid of it."

He continued, "I tell y'all what though, my brother got it fixed, dude, and he killed it. It's brand new, I figured I had totaled it.
