Details of Ringo Starr's Hollywood star ceremony were announced Tuesday by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The ceremony will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 8 at 1750 N. Vine St., Los Angeles, in front of the historic Capitol Records tower.
The ceremony, inaugurating the 2,401st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, will feature a special salute to Ringo by members of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s All District High School Honor Marching Band.
After the star ceremony was announced last year, Ringo issued a typically light-hearted reaction, saying, “A star for a Starr – what an honor and a privilege it is to be walked on! Peace & Love.”
A press release issued Tuesday said Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Leron Gubler will speak at the ceremony, with more names to be announced.

Really, it's at 7:00? That's after dark...
Melody... they only come out at night.
Wow! That's really cool! I hope I can make it out there. :)
I am so happy about this. I signed a petition for Ringo to get a Hollywood star more than 3 years ago.
Another website states the unveiling is at 11:30 am. Anyway to confirm the time!!! I want to be there.
Mink: I'm curious where you saw that. Ringo's event is the kickoff for the 50th anniversary of the Walk of Fame and they're having a special evening event at 7 p.m.
Congrats to Ringo for getting that star. And also a special statue! that is GREAT!!
I just hope they can find the stolen Lennon star in time for Ringo's to be unveiled.
