another day and MOREEE exciting news for The Red Hot Chili Peppers! HOLLYWEIRD's very own band will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame! Next Thursday, it's all going down. And my favorite part about this is the fact that George Clinton of Parliment Funkadelic will be presenting the band with the star! If you know anything about RHCP, you know that George Clinton produced the greatest album ever for the band, 1985's 'Freaky Styley', and has worked with them on a ton of great music. So this is super fitting AND also Woody Harrelson will be there presenting the award for them as well! All the details below via Variety:
The “Californication” rockers will receive the honor at an unveiling ceremony scheduled for Thursday, March 31 at 11:30 a.m. The star — the 2,717th on the Walk of Fame — is located in the second row at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, adjacent to Amoeba Records on the south side of the street, and next to TV producer Harry Friedman’s star. Pat Sajak and Jack Paar’s stars will neighbor the Chili Peppers’ to the west and east, respectively.
George Clinton, who produced the band’s 1985 album “Freaky Styley,” will unveil the star alongside Woody Harrelson, Bob Forrest and emcee Nicole Mihalka, chair of the board for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
“Our hometown Hollywood boys are finally coming to collect their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez. “We have been waiting for them to break away from their busy schedules to dedicate their star, and we are thrilled to welcome them to our Walk of Fame family.”
