He continued: “And I entered history as the first celebration of the 100th birthday of a living American president.”

At the time, the concert raised more than $1.2 million and also included the display of recorded messages from other presidents. The concert also presented dozens of musical works in the presence of thousands.

In February 2023, Carter entered a nursing home for the first time, while some relatives believed he only had a few days left to live.
