Nearly five months before they are set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Billy Idol and his guitarist Steve Stevens were inducted into the Hollywood Rockwalk on Tuesday (June 23) during a ceremony at Guitar Center’s flagship Hollywood location on Sunset Boulevard.
The ceremony was hosted by legendary radio personality Richard Blade. Idol and Stevens commemorated the occasion with a handprint ceremony outside the store. They joined more than 150 artists and innovators who have been honored by the Rockwalk since its founding in 1985. Among them: Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Aerosmith, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Alanis Morissette, Black Sabbath, The Ramones, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
