Barbra Streisand shared an emotional tribute Kris Kristofferson after the singer’s death at the age of 88
Barbra Streisand has shared a touching tribute to her A Star is Born costar, the late Kris Kristofferson.
Streisand, 82, took to Instagram on the evening of Sunday, September 29, to mourn the country music singer who died at his home one day prior at the age of 88.
Sharing a screenshot of the A Star is Born album cover, released in 1976 to coincide with the film’s release, and a more recent shot of the pair performing together, Streisand reflected on her early impressions of Kristofferson.
“The first time I saw Kris performing at the Troubadour club in L.A. I knew he was something special. Barefoot and strumming his guitar, he seemed like the perfect choice for a script I was developing, which eventually became A Star Is Born,” she captioned the post. “In the movie, Kris and I sang the song I’d written for the film’s main love theme, “Evergreen.”
She continued, “For my latest concert in 2019 at London’s Hyde Park, I asked Kris to join me on-stage to sing our other A Star Is Born duet, “Lost Inside Of You.
