Legendary Dr. Dre is one of the 31 entertainers chosen to earn a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The new honorees were revealed in a press conference on Monday, June 26, by the official Walk of Fame selection committee, which is made up of former Walk of Fame recipients. From among the hundreds of nominations, they chose the new recipients.
No dates or times have been scheduled regarding the respective star ceremonies.
“Rock fans are gonna love this,” iHeartRadio radio personality and selection committee chair Ellen K remarked before announcing Def Leppard in the recording category. The band, known for hits such as “Rock of Ages” and “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak,” was previously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
Ellen K also shouted out “Legendary hip-hop artist Dr. Dre,” who received the first-ever ASCAP Hip-Hop Icon Award earlier this month and Global Icon Award earlier this year at the Grammys.
Dr. Dre has previously supported Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Big Boy and 50 Cent at their celebration of getting a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.
