Darius Rucker Got A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame On Monday
Darius Rucker was honored this Monday with a star on the “Hollywood Walk Of Fame“. The Grammy winner is popular for being the lead vocalist and guitarist of Hootie & The Blowfish and for some of his songs like “True Believers” and “ Wagon Wheel.” He was celebrated by his family, friends, his children, and his bandmates.
This star is the 2766th star in the category of recording. He got a special spot close to Charley Pride, his mentor. Rucker said, “This is stuff you don’t even dream about when you’re from South Carolina. you know, struggling, growing up, and just wanting to be a singer — that’s all I ever wanted to be was a singer. But you never dream that this stuff is going to happen.”
He further added, “I’m walking the streets the other day, and I’m seeing Marilyn Monroe and Charley Pride and seeing Buddy Hackett, and I’m just like, these are names that are stuck in my mind because they were big stars. To be here, right here with a star on the Walk of Fame, I said over there, it’s the biggest thing that’s happened to me.”
He also mentioned Beth Leonard, his ex-wife, for raising the kids when he was not there at home and was chasing his dreams. He then turned towards them and said, “It’s just been an amazing thing to be your father. As great as all this stuff is, it’s not as cool as being your dad, and I really mean that. I love you guys so much.”
And he concluded his speech by thanking his fans. He said, “That is what it’s all about in our business. And I want to thank everybody who comes out every year to see us play. I can’t say thank you enough, and I still can’t believe I have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
