George a son étoile

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Hollywood's glittering Walk of Fame is to get a new star with late Beatle George Harrison being added posthumously to the famous walkway.

A star bearing Harrison's name will be added to the famous sidewalk in a ceremony on April 14 to be attended by his widow, Olivia, and son, Dhani, organizers said.

Guitarist Harrison, who died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 58, was a schoolfriend of Paul McCartney and at 16 helped found The Quarrymen, which later became The Beatles.

He wrote many of the Fab Four's top hits including "Here Comes The Sun," "Something," and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

After the group split up in 1970, Harrison pursued a solo career and had a global hit with the song "My Sweet Lord."

Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is currently filming a documentary about Harrison's life, and Capitol/EMI will announce plans for a new Harrison music release on April 14.

Wingspan a écrit:C'est Capitol qui a payé les 25.000$ de droits d'étoile...
Comment avoir son étoile sur Hollywood Boulevard? Avoir l'avale de la commission et les 25.000$ qui vont avec...

Voilà pourquoi Paul McCartney a jusque là toujours refusé son étoile, car elle est payante !
