About time! Green Day is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame on Thursday, May 1. Tennis legend Serena Williams and actor/producer Ryan Reynolds will be on hand to speak at the event (which will be streamed live at the Walk Of Fame’s web site). Radio and TV personality Matt Pinfield will emcee. Everything gets underway at 11:30 a.m. PT.
You’ll find Green Day’s star at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, near Amoeba Music.
Walk Of Fame producer Ana Martinez said, “The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is honored to welcome Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Green Day’s music has not only inspired generations but also served as the soundtrack to our lives.”
Honorees are selected by a committee of their peers.
Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, California, Green Day is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, with more than 75 million records sold.
The five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees released their breakout album, “Dookie”, in 1994.
Entertainment Weekly calls Green Day “the most influential band of their generation”, while Rolling Stone says, “Green Day have inspired more young bands to start than any act this side of KISS, and that doesn’t seem to be changing.”
On January 19, 2024, Green Day released their 14th studio album, “Saviors” – and debuted #1 on seven different Billboard charts!
Are you surprised that Green Day doesn’t already have a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame? ‘Cause I am.
