U.S. Rock Band Green Day Receives Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame - Green Day, celebrated American rock group, honored with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star
Hear ye, hear ye! Get ready to rock 'n' roll, because internationally acclaimed punk legends Green Day are set to receive a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! On May 1st, our favorite rebels Billie Joe Armstrong (53), Tré Cool (52), and Mike Dirnt (52) are unveiling their 2,810th star on the fabled Hollywood Boulevard. Tennis titan Serena Williams and the suave Ryan Reynolds are heralded as guest speakers for this buzzing shindig.
"From the Boulevard of Broken Dreams to the Hollywood Boulevard," the band couldn't contain their excitement, referencing their iconic tune. They've extended a warm invitation to all to join in the jubilation - this is an event you won't soon forget!
Green Day graced the stage as one of this month's main acts at the Coachella Festival in sunny Southern California. In late January, the band stood side by side with some of Hollywood's finest at a star-studded concert to benefit the victims of the devastating fires that ravaged L.A.
California's own Green Day climbed the ranks of international stardom when their album "Dookie" dropped in 1994. In 2004, they clinched the Grammy for Best Rock Album with "American Idiot." Last year, the band released their 14th studio album, "Saviors," which featured the hit single "The American Dream Is Killing Me." Armstrong, Dirnt, and Cool also embarked on a sold-out world tour to support the album.
