Isaac Hayes, His New Wife and SonMusic Icon Isaac Hayes was a devout Scientologist. Everyone knew it and he was very proud of it. So why is today's memorial service for Isaac taking place at Hope Presbyterian Church? That's what hundreds of angry churches members want to know.
Well the family and the church clergy have tried to set the record straight with the following released statement emphasizing the event will be a tribute, not a religious service.
"Friends of many faiths and traditions will join the family to pay tribute to the music legend and reflect upon his life through speeches, musical performances, photos and video clips," Hayes's family said in a statement issued to the newspapers.
A publicist for the family said no Scientology minister would be officiating and Hope Presbyterian confirmed to the Commercial Appeal that Hayes's remains would not be at the event.
In addition, on Saturday September 27th at the Los Angeles Coliseum as part of the Farmers Angel City Classic Football Game (between Moorehouse College and Prairie View A & M), Staxx Records will feature a "5th Quarter Concert Tribute To Isaac Hayes". Stay tuned to this site as we reveal the "A" list of celebrities who will perform.
