Johnny Cash will forever be remembered as an American icon, and now there’s a statue of him to show it. The late singer has been immortalized in the U.S. Capitol, making him the first musician featured in the National Statuary Hall Collection. The nearly 11-foot-tall bronze artwork was donated by his home state of Arkansas.
At the unveiling ceremony on Tuesday, Cash’s daughter Rosanne Cash said he would have seen the statue “as the ultimate” honor, per the Associated Press. “This man was a living redemption story,” she shared. “He encountered darkness and met it with love.”
