David Beckham will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2025 alongside the likes of Prince and Green Day.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has confirmed the honourees who have been whittled down for a tribute on the famous Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk.
As well as the Purple Rain hitmaker - who died aged 57 in 2016 - and the 49-year-old British football legend and the American punk rock trio (Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt), actress Jane Fonda, 86, and actor Alan Cumming, 58, are among the selections for next year.
The motion picture list also includes John Carpenter, Jessica Chastain, Bill Duke, Robert Englund, Emilio Estevez, Colin Farrell, Nia Long, Lisa LIu, Glynn Turman, and stunt woman Toni Vaz, who is 101 years old.
The television stars are as follows: Fran Drescher, Lauren Graham, Bill Nye, Molly Shannon, Sherri Shepherd, Courtney B. Vance, Chris Wallace, and South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who will have a joint ceremony.
As well as Prince being posthumously honoured, Fantasia, Depeche Mode, Los Bukis, The B-52s, The Isley Brothers, Busta Rhymes, George Strait, Keith Urban and WAR are the other music honourees.
Commerce Chairman Peter Roth commented: "Each honouree truly embodies the essence of excellence in their respective fields."
Whilst the selection has been chosen, the honourees have two years to book their induction ceremony, otherwise it will expire.
David's big news comes after he opened up about his concerns around his Netflix documentary, Beckham, which was released on streaming giant Netflix late last year. He said he was concerned about his daughter watching it and feared it might influence her opinion of her dad's difficult moments from the past. However, the Manchester United icon was shocked by the positive response to the documentary, which lifted his spirits and aided in his reconciliation with some of the more challenging periods of his successful career.
Unveiled in October 2023, Beckham was a four-episode series that dove deep into the celebrated footballer's life. What sets this documentary apart is the inclusion of previously unseen footage and the comprehensive exploration of Beckham's relationships with his family, friends, teammates, and coaches, offering a unique and intimate perspective.
Before the series was available for the public to watch and dissect, he had a few reservations about how the content could affect his children. "I was a little bit worried about my daughter seeing some of the things that were being said about me over the years and how she would react," Beckham said to Variety. "I've been telling my daughter for a long time that mummy used to wear very, very short skirts. And then she was like, 'Daddy, Mommy did really wear really, really short skirts!' But she loved it."
The documentary saw Victoria and David touch upon his alleged affair with Rebecca Loos, a scandal that he has vehemently denied over the years. Victoria shared in the documentary: "It was the hardest period for us. Because it felt like the world was against us. And here's the thing; we were against each other, if I'm being completely honest."
