Watch Roy Orbison’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony Now

Posted by Admin on Jan 29, 2010 in Chatter | 0 comments

One of Rolling Stone’s Immortal rockers is being immortalized again today — Roy Orbison is being honored with a posthumous star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame at a ceremony featuring Jeff Beck, Jason Mraz, Dan Aykroyd, Michelle Branch, Chris Isaak, Jeff Lynne, Joe Walsh and Dwight Yoakam. Orbison’s wife Barbara will be accepting on his behalf. Orbison’s spot on the most well known sidewalk in the U.S. is located on Vine Street in front of the Capitol Records building — next to John Lennon’s recently relocated star and George Harrison’s star (Ringo Starr’s is scheduled to join them on February 8th).

Thanks to SyncLive.com and Roy Orbison’s Website, RS is bringing you live coverage of Orbison’s ceremony as it happens (the event begins at 2:30 p.m. ET).
