Karel Gott made honorary citizen of Plzeň

Ageless Czech pop star Karel Gott was made an honorary citizen of his home city, Plzeň, on Monday. The city’s highest tribute is recognition for the fact that Karel Gott is the best known living citizen from the city, a councillor said. The award for the 70-year-old international singing star comes less than a week after Karel Gott was recognised by President Václav Klaus for his positive contribution to the Czech Republic abroad at the annual awards ceremony marking Czech national day.
