Musician/actor LL Cool J (NCIS: Los Angeles) is the host of A Home for the Holidays: The 20th Anniversary. Every year, the TV special on CBS raises awareness of the more than 438,000 children in foster care. During the televised event, interviews with children and their parents who have adopted them out of foster care are featured in between musical performances. This year, Gwen Stefani, Train, Andy Grammer, and Lukas Graham will perform.
Lukas Graham is a Danish pop band consisting of three musicians: lead singer Lukas Forchhammer, drummer Mark Falgren, and bassist Magnus Larsson. The band is known for its hit songs “Mama Said” and “7 Years.”
During performances, Forchhammer often mentions his hometown of Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is a commune of about 900 residents that was created in 1971 by squatters living in abandoned military barracks. Residents have created their own set of rules, independent of the Danish government. No private cars are allowed in town and drugs including cannabis hash are sold openly on the main street, Pusher Street, which is otherwise illegal in the country of Denmark. A Home for the Holidays: The 20th Anniversary airs Friday, December 21 at 8 pm on CBS.
