Streisand Bows Out of Cannes Closing Ceremony, Honor Still Goes On

Barbra Streisand will not attend the Cannes Film Festival closing ceremony due to a knee injury, but she will still be honored with the Honorary Palme d’Or. In a statement she expressed regret at missing the in-person celebration while thanking the festival for the honor, and the tribute to her life’s work will proceed on May 23, marking her Cannes debut in a different sense.
