Rush receive star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Written by admin on June 29, 2010 – 7:15 pm -

Canadian rock band Rush received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Friday. Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee were in attendance to accept the honour and tributes were paid by Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan, among others.

Corgan said:

“If you would’ve told me in the basement of Glendale Heights, Illinois in 1975 that I would be standing with these guys, I think my head would’ve exploded. I’ve been in this business for about 20 years now, and let me tell you, thee guys are the best of the best. They represent the values that the fans will listen, and will care.”
