The non-political, faith-based gathering will be hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner ahead of the inauguration ceremony for President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
The prayer breakfast, to be held at the esteemed Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom, will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Dr Alveda King and Pastor Mario Bramnick.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Bassey wrote, “Let’s raise a sound in America. See you on January 20, 2025.”
Known for his impactful music and ministry, Bassey is also the visionary behind the Hallelujah Challenge, a global online worship movement.
