20 Years Ago DEF LEPPARD Inducted Into HOLLYWOOD ROCKWALK (Photos)

5th September 2000

Def Leppard were inducted into the Guitar Center RockWalk in Hollywood, CA on this day in 2000.

The band attended a ceremony at 2pm outside the Guitar Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, CA on 5th September 2000 during their 'Euphoria' US tour.

Following an induction speech by Queen guitarist and band friend Brian May they placed their hand prints on the RockWalk cement and were presented with a plaque.

Rick placed his foot in the cement and his daughter Lauren also added her hand print.

They joined many other bands and artists in receiving the honour on the alternative to the more famous Hollywood Walk Of Fame (located on Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street).

Hollywood's RockWalk is "dedicated to honouring those musicians and innovators who have made a significant contribution to the rock and roll art form".

The 'Euphoria' world tour has just entered its final month with the band having played in Sacramento, CA on 4th September before heading off for another show in Post Falls, ID the day after this event.
