The Hollywood Reporter has issued the following:
RUSH, Canada's most successful rock band, received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame on Friday, appropriately in front of the Musicians Institute on Hollywood Boulevard.
On hand to induct the musicians were SMASHING PUMPKINS singer Billy Corgan and Donna Halper, a former music director at Cleveland's WMMS-FM who was among the first to champion the enduring band's 1974 self-titled debut album.
"Rush always stayed true to themselves and true to their music, and never lost their integrity," Halper said to cheers from the crowd that ranged from toddlers in Rush T-shirts and baby boomers in tattered vintage 2112 tour jerseys.
Frontman-bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson were in attendance to claim the 2,412th star on the Walk Of Fame. Noticeably absent was drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, who was riding a motorcycle to the band's first tour date in Albuquerque on Tuesday.
