A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled on Thursday honoring the punk rock band Green Day.
The three-man band consisting of vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool, will receive the 2,810th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“From the Boulevard of Broken Dreams to Hollywood Boulevard,” wrote the trio in their announcement on Instagram.
“Thank you to all of our fans that bought our records and come to our shows,” frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told the cheering crowd gathered for the event. “We love you guys so much.”
The rock group’s star is at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, near the Amoeba Music store.
“We’ll never say thank you enough for everybody and everyone who was involved with whatever we’ve done over the years,” Dirnt said. “But this is for all of us, thank you.”
The Grammy-winning band was formed in 1986 in Berkeley, California. Their breakout album, Dookie, in 1995 sold over 10 million copies and achieved 10x Platinum Diamond status, according to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In 2015, Green Day was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The band’s recognition on the Walk of Fame comes after headlining back-to-back weekends at the Coachella Music Festival last month.
The ceremony included guest speakers Serena Williams and Ryan Reynolds. Matt Pinfield was set to emcee the event.
