Sammy Hagar will be honored with the 2,779th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during a ceremony scheduled to take place on Tuesday, April 30, at 11:30 a.m. PT. The singer will be recognized in the Recording category with a plaque located at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, adjacent to the Amoeba Music Hollywood record store.
Hagar’s good friend, celebrity chef and restaurateur Guy Fieri, will emcee the event, with guest speakers to include John Mayer and the Hagar’s longtime manager, Tom Consolo.
Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said in a statement: “The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to honor rock legend Sammy Hagar for his contributions to the world of Rock & Roll music. From his humble beginnings in Fontana, California to strolling the Hollywood Walk of Fame as a young boy, he has truly come a long way!”
Upon hearing of his Hollywood Walk of Fame honor back in June 2023, Hagar took to YouTube to share a video regarding the exciting news. Accompanying the clip, Hagar wrote: “This video is self-explanatory and blew my mind this morning. Another dream comes true …This is pretty damn special and exciting for me. One more dream I never dreamt come true. Too bad we cant set up our gear and play a big street party for all the redheads, but it will be a very special day!” – Sammy #ThankYouAll #PermanentStar”
Hagar’s ceremony will be streamed live exclusively online at WalkofFame.com.
