UPDATE TO BELOW STORY...
It's Official: Sammy Hagar was honored with the 2779th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The ceremony took place in front of Amoeba Records, and, in addition to his family, Sammy was joined by Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith.
Guy Fieri, celebrity chef and Sammy's business partner in Santo Tequila, was the emcee with special guest speakers Sammy's manager, Tom Consolo, and John Mayer.
Mayer said he first met Sammy in 2015 when Sammy stopped by a Dead & Company rehearsal as Sammy and Bob Weir are neighbors and good friends. They became fast friends and Sammy helped ease Mayer's nervousness about "joining an already established legendary rock band... It's not easy stepping into a position that the audience isn't quite ready to accept and Sammy knew that."
Mayer also shared other anecdotes about Hagar.
Hagar told us earlier this year that this honor was humbling and something his mother would especially be proud of as she used to take her four children to see the stars on the sidewalk. You can hear the emotion in his voice as he wrapped up his speech.
Don't forget....Sammy Hagar;s 'The Best of All Worlds' Tour is coming to Dos Equis Pavilion on August 22nd.
