CBS and Dick Clark Productions have announced Darius Rucker will be conferred with the Veterans Voice Award at the 52nd American Music Awards (AMAs), set to air on live on Monday (May 25) at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT on CBS and Paramount+.
The recognition is part of USAA's Honor Through Action initiative that commits $500 million commitment over five years to the military community, focusing on providing meaningful careers, financial security, and well-being for veterans and their families.
"Behind every name we honor on Memorial Day is a family, a story and a sacrifice that should never be forgotten," said Chris Curtin, USAA Chief Marketing Officer. "Darius Rucker has long stood beside the military community, not just in words but through action, and this recognition reflects the same spirit of remembrance, service and support that defines our mission."
The star-studded event will begin with host Queen Latifah live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the largest venue in the show's history, on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25.
The show will feature performances from Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Billy Idol, International Artist Award of Excellence recipient KAROL G, Hootie & the Blowfish, KATSEYE, Keith Urban, Maluma, New Kids on the Block, Riley Green, SOMBR, Teddy Swims, Teyana Taylor, The Pussycat Dolls + Busta Rhymes, and Twenty One Pilots.
