Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash is to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next month.
The
musician, who is the first member of the rock band to receive the
pavement plaque, will be honoured at a ceremony in front of the Hard
Rock Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard on 10 July.
He will be saluted by movie mogul Robert Evans and actor Charlie Sheen.
Organisers praised Slash, who grew up in Stoke-on-Trent, as "one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time".
"We
are proud to place his name among the stars on our fabled Hollywood
Walk of Fame," Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies,
said
The guitarist will also be performing an acoustic show and Q&A at the Hard Rock Cafe after the ceremony.
Slash
was the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses from 1985 to 1996, leaving
after a feud with lead singer Axl Rose, who is the only original member
remaining with the band.
He has since performed and recorded with side group Slash's Snakepit and supergroup Velvet Revolver.
The musician has also recorded solo material, with his second album, “Apocalyptic Love”, released last month.
