Rock and Roll legend and one of the 80’s biggest stars Billy Idol has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony took place this past Friday as Hollywood declared the day “Billy Idol Day.” The star is fittingly located right by Amoeba Records on Hollywood Blvd.
Billy Idol told the star-studded crowd:
“It really is crazy to find myself getting an award like this, or being honored in this way. I mean, 47 years of doing this after I started in Generation X, and 35 years after coming here, I just really could never have imagined anything like this. I mean, initially we did the music back in the mid-’70s during the punk-rock time. There wasn’t much hope or anything. We decided if there’s no future, we’re going to do what we love. And that’s what I did. I did the music because I loved it. It wasn’t for any other reason, really.”
