On Tuesday, rock legend Sammy Hagar was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

John Mayer and Hagar’s business partner Guy Fieri spoke at the event.

The onetime Van Halen frontman said his mother was “in love” with the Walk of Fame. “She would want to come down here and see the movie stars,” Hagar recalled. “She was really in love with the movie industry and Clark Gable and those guys. I remember seeing this thing and to think, it was way beyond a dream. You have dreams and then you have the dream that you didn’t dream. This is one of those dreams that I didn’t dream and – wow.”

Hagar’s star is located at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, across from Fieri’s restaurant. It is listed at the 2,779 star in the Walk of Fame.
