Nearly four decades after their debut, Red Hot Chili Peppers is finally getting the recognition they deserved as the Hollywood Walk of Fame announced that the iconic band would be getting their own star.
According to Billboard, the rock band was formed in Los Angeles, California, and one of their commercially successful albums, "Californication," was dedicated to the city.
On Monday, the organization behind the Hollywood Walk of Fame announced that the band will be getting their star in the second row of 6212 Holywood Boulevard.
The iconic plaque will be placed alongside iconic names in the industry like Pat Sajak, Jack Paar, Harry Friedman and more.
The band's producer for the album "Freaky Stylety," George Clinton, will unveil the star on March 31 with Woody Harrelson, Bob Forrest, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce chairwoman Nicole Mihalka.
In an interview with Variety, Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said they have been waiting for Red Hot Chili Peppers to get out of their busy schedules to finally get the commemoration.
"We are thrilled to welcome them to our Walk of Fame family," Martinez added.
The band isn't the first rock band to have the immense honor as the organization has previously paid tribute to iconic groups like The Beatles, Chicago, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Jane's Addiction, and many more.
Red Hot Chili Peppers To Release an Album a Day After Commemoration
According to the outlet, the band is set to release their forthcoming album titled "Unlimited Love" on April 1, a day after they receive their star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The album also marks the return of John Frusciante from 1988 to 2006.
Frusciante previously said in an interview that they brought new ideas and turned jams into a track before they played new songs.
"The feeling of effortless fun we had when we were playing songs by other people stayed with us the whole time we were writing. For me, this record represents our love for, and faith in, each other," the musician said.
Aside from a new record, the rock band will also go on a world tour this Summer starting in Spain before coming to the United States for 19 shows.
This is the first time Red Hot Chili Peppers will have a stadium tour in their home country.
The legendary band will be accompanied by some of the biggest names in music like St. Vincent, Haim, Thundercat, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, King Princess, Beck, and more.
