Gwen Stefani received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On Thursday, the 54-year-old singer was recognized for her musical career by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think that this girl from Orange County would have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” she told the crowd. It just doesn’t make sense to me. »
The American star was accompanied by her husband, Blake Shelton, 47, and her three sons, Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, nine.
During her speech, she paid tribute to music executive Jimmy Iovine, who was in attendance alongside country icon Reba McEntire. The singer of No Doubt spoke about her first meeting with the producer at an event for young talents, during which he predicted that she would become a big star. “You said, ‘In six years, you’ll be a star.’ And I said, “Six years is just weird! For example: In six years, I’ll be pregnant with my fifth child. I won’t be making music anymore.” Six years later, Don’t Speak was world number one and he was right! »
In addition to presenting her with her star, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Steven Nissen announced that Thursday, October 19 would now officially be known as Gwen Stefani Day.
