It’s been announced that RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS are to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame at the end of the month.
The ceremony will take place on Thursday, March 31 at 11:30 a.m. PT at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, adjacent to the Amoeba Records.
The legendary George Clinton, who produced the band’s 1985 album “Freaky Styley”, will be on hand as well as actor Woody Harrelson, Bob Forrest and Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce chairwoman Nicole Mihalka.
Hollywood Walk Of Fame producer Ana Martinez says in a statement: “Our hometown Hollywood boys are finally coming to collect their star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. 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.”
The star will be unveiled the day before the release of RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS’ new album, “Unlimited Love” which drops on April 1 via Warner Music.
The effort was produced by Rick Rubin who previously worked on “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” (1991), “Californication” (1999), “By The Way” (2002) and the “Stadium Arcadium”.
The album also marks the band’s first record with returning guitarist John Frusciante since 2006’s “Stadium Arcadium”.
