Rocker Stewart honoured with Hollywood star
British rock legend Rod Stewart was honoured with a star on Hollywood's coveted Walk of Fame on Tuesday after a monumental career spanning 40 years.
The singer became the 2,293rd star to receive the pavement accolade and was visibly moved when the award was unveiled.
He was applauded by a host of celebrities including TV talk show host Larry King and Hollywood mayor Johnny Grant. His pregnant fiancée Penny Lancaster looked on proudly.
The rocker-turned-crooner has sold more than 100 million records and is known worldwide for hits such as Do You Think I’m Sexy and Maggie May.
He insists yesterday's ceremony was one of the best moments in his music career.
Stewart says: "It's magnificent. I mean words fail me, really. I've lived here for 30 years and this is one of the finest things that ever happened.
"The great thing about this is that I get to be on the pavement, or sidewalk as we call it in America, along with my younger sister, Sir Elton John."
