Legendary rock musician Sammy Hagar was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony attended by fellow musicians and fans. The star, unveiled on Tuesday, recognizes Hagar’s illustrious career in the music industry, where he has sold over 50 million albums.
Among those present at the ceremony were singer John Mayer and Hagar’s longtime manager, Tom Consolo, who joined the celebration at the iconic Hollywood Boulevard location. The event was hosted by celebrity chef and television host Guy Fieri, who shared a special connection with Hagar as they co-founded the premium Tequila brand Santo Spirit in 2019.
Reflecting on the significance of receiving a star on the Walk of Fame, Hagar expressed gratitude for his journey from humble beginnings in Fontana to achieving this milestone in Hollywood. He recalled how his mother, a fan of the movie industry, used to bring him and his siblings to see the stars on the Walk of Fame, making this honor even more meaningful to him.
Hagar’s career has been marked by numerous achievements, including his time as the lead vocalist and guitarist for Van Halen, as well as his successful solo and collaborative projects with bands like Chickenfoot and The Circle. His impact on the rock music scene has earned him accolades such as induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy award for best hard rock performance.
As Hagar prepares to embark on “The Best of All Worlds” tour with The Circle, fans and music enthusiasts alike celebrate his contributions to the industry and look forward to more rock ‘n’ roll greatness from the Red Rocker.
