WATCH: Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood perform 'Imagine' at Jimmy Carter's funeral
As the U.S. says goodbye to former President Jimmy Carter, you can watch a continuous stream of the many public memorial events dedicated to the 39th president. You can also learn more about his life (including a timeline), his legacy as a humanitarian and statesman, as well as how he contributed to public health, plus how funerals of former presidents are planned.
Country artists Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performed "Imagine" by John Lennon at the funeral for the late President Jimmy Carter at the Washington National Cathedral Thursday.
Brooks and Yearwood performed the same song just over a year prior at the funeral for Carter's wife, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who died in November 2023.
