Kings of Leon Get Walk of Fame Star
They'll be inducted in Nashville today
Kings of Leon will get a coveted star on the Music City Walk of Fame in Nashville later this week.
Echoing the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the series of stars in downtown Nashville, Tennessee honour artists who have contributed to the city’s musical heritage.
Nashville natives Kings of Leon will receive the 61st star at an inauguration ceremony on Friday afternoon (21st September).
Explaining the reason for KoL’s induction, Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau president and CEO Butch Spyridon said: “They are a perfect example of what this project is all about - local musicians who transcend genre to produce great music loved by all.”
The band’s stainless steel and terrazzo star will be embedded on the pavement in Walk of Fame Park between the Country Music Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena and Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
Other acts that appear on the Music City Walk of Fame include Jimi Hendrix, Roy Orbison, Little Richard, Kid Rock, Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson.
