Shia LaBeouf, Missy Elliott and "American Pie"
singer-songwriter Don McLean were also among the 35 stars of
film, television and music announced for the honor on Thursday
by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which administers the
tourist attraction.
The late Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti and Pulitzer
Prize-winning "Fences" playwright August Wilson will be given
stars posthumously.
They will join more than 2,600 celebrities, including Charlie
Chaplin, Jennifer Aniston, Jimi Hendrix and rapper Snoop Dogg,
whose names are inscribed on pink and bronze stars embedded on
the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard in a tradition that
started in 1960.
Ceremonies unveiling the stars on the Walk of Fame were
suspended in mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic. The
unveilings that were postponed for six unnamed celebrities will
be rescheduled at a later date, officials said.
