Darius Rucker To Be Honored With Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

We suppose you could say the stars have most certainly aligned for hitmaker Darius Rucker throughout 2023. The lead vocalist of the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, country singer, songwriter, and guitarist will be honored with the 2,766th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on December 4.

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to honor the very talented Darius Rucker,” stated Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “I think he will be happy to know that his mentor and friend Charley Pride’s star is a few feet away from his star."

Rucker posted the following caption to a post on his Facebook feed:

"IS THIS REAL?!?! Honored to receive the 2,766th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!! You can watch it LIVE on Monday, December 4, at 11:30 AM PT at walkoffame.com. If you are in Hollywood sometime down the road, come check it out at 7065 Hollywood Blvd!"

In addition to receiving the CMA Humanitarian Award last month, Rucker was also honored in Nashville, Tennessee with a star at the Music City Walk of Fame. The 57-year-old was one of four legendary figures to be inducted on October 4, and two days later, on October 6, he dropped his first solo album in six years titled Carolyn's Boy.

Fans of Rucker can watch a live stream of the event as he receives his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at walkoffame.org on Monday, December 4 at 11:30 am PT. Guest speakers for the ceremony have yet to be announced.

When Hollywood actors went on strike for the first time in forty years last week, production on all sets stopped.  That affected all country stars acting in TV or movies.

The strike will not affect reality shows like American Idol and The Voice, full of country music royalty helping young budding stars' dreams come true. Those shows will go on as scheduled, giving us all the chance to see Reba McEntire and Dan + Shay sitting in red chairs on The Voice as first-time coaches on the show.

According to the guidelines, SAG-AFTRA members cannot attend premieres, do interviews for completed work, go to awards shows, attend film festivals, or even promote projects on social media while the strike is in effect. They are also prohibited from attending conventions such as Comic-Con to promote any past or present work made under a SAG-AFTRA contract.

The strike will affect those country stars that have done a lot of acting in the past, including Tim McGraw, McEntire, Lainey Wilson, Randy Houser, and more.

We searched for what to watch on TV and streaming services during the strike, which could last for months. For you, we gathered some TV shows already on streaming services where you can watch your favorite country stars flexing their acting skills, talking about their career in documentaries, and more.
