Gloria Estefan

Beloved comedian Billy Crystal and pioneering rapper Queen Latifah are among the 46th crop of Kennedy Center honorees, one of the United States' most prestigious arts awards, the center announced on June 22.

A little bit of beer, a little bit of shrooms, and some mucking around with the guitar: That's one recipe to write a smash song, says Post Malone.

The hitmaker was speaking to AFP as a special honoree at the gala inducting new members into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, as Cuban-American Gloria Estefan became the first Latina artist to enter the prestigious pantheon.
