The U.S. Postal Service’s new Forever postage stamp honoring Johnny Cash will be unveiled Wednesday at a special ceremony at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville with a gathering of country music stars, including some of the Man in Black’s family members.
His son, John Carter Cash, step-daughter Carlene Carter, Marty Stuart, Randy Travis and the Oak Ridge Boys are scheduled to appear at the event, which will be free and open to the public.
The image on the stamp comes from a 1963 photo shoot for Cash’s album “Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash.”
