It’s a pretty good couple of days for the legendary alt-rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers. singer Anthony Kedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Flea, and drummer Chad Smith received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday (3/31.) They become the 2.717th star on the famed Hollywood walkways. They were introduced by the legendary funk master George Clinton and actor Woody Harrelson. Flea joked how he used to panhandle on that street, John said his first apartment in LA was a block from there, Chad dedicated it to his friend Taylor Hawkins and Anthony licked the star.
Chad Smith at Red Hot Chili Peppers' Walk of Fame ceremony: "I have to give a shout out to my brother Taylor Hawkins, who I loved and we will all miss so much... He would laugh and make a nice smart ass comment about this whole thing." https://t.co/uGXso38sBe pic.twitter.com/s9sDrg0srF
