Pop punk trio Green Day were honored with a star on the Walk of Fame on Thursday, with their star located at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard. It is the 2810th star to be placed on the boulevard since the tourist attraction opened in 1960.
The star unveiling ceremony was hosted by a TV presenter With Pinfild.
"It's a great honor to be here today with three guys that I love. I love their music, but I also love them as people. 'Dookie' (Green Day's third studio album) made a lot of young people pick up guitars or sit down at the drums, want to sing or write songs," he said.
"That's what makes punk rock and rock'n'roll music. It's the beauty and the love, the passing on of your talent," Pinfield added.
The actor also attended the ceremony. Ryan Reynolds, known as Deadpool from the films of the same name.
“Anyone who knows me knows how deeply committed I am when it comes to certain songs in the movies that I produce or write. I get so attached to them that it’s impossible to put into words. I had this idea for music that would play during the closing credits of the movie (Deadpool & Wolverine). For me, it was an opportunity to do something that expressed warmth, gratitude and love,” Reynolds said, alluding to the song “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life).”
Members of the band Green Day also addressed the audience.
"This is crazy. I didn't write anything down or prepare anything, but what I want to do is thank my family. This is for my mom. This is like being at your own funeral," the band's frontman joked. Billy Joe Armstrong.
"Thank you to all our friends who bought our records and came to our shows. We love you all so much," the singer added.
He also took the opportunity to thank his mother, who taught him that "he can do anything he wants, because he has nothing to lose."
