SQL syntax for INSERT

I'm hoping there is a conventional (read easy) method of doing this. I wish to selectively move records from one table to another.

INSERT INTO events_deleted

       SELECT * FROM events
       WHERE eventID=4659;

This works, however I would like to also add the SYSDATE to the resulting record. If I add a DATE field to the destination table the above INSERT no longer works. I've tried things like:

INSERT INTO events_deleted

       SELECT * FROM events
       WHERE eventID=4659, SYSDATE ;

Is there some way to do this?

TIA
