The legendary musician and founding member of The Gap Band was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday.
The frontman of the legendary R&B-funk group The Gap Band, 71, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles on Monday where he was honoured with a ceremony that included speeches from stars like Snoop Dogg and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.
As Wilson revealed while accepting the coveted honor, receiving a star meant a great deal to him — since he had overcome drug addiction and homelessness on those same streets of Hollywood in the early ‘90s.
“This recognition holds this very special place in my heart, as it symbolizes a journey that started many, many years ago,” the musician told the crowd, which included star-studded attendees like Kayne West, Tyler, the Creator, Ty Dolla $ign and others.
