Tupac & Holland-Dozier-Holland Headed To Hollywood's Walk Of Fame

Tupac Shakur's status as an icon will be cemented with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in 2014 - an honor that will also be extended to Motown's legendary songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland. The announcement follows Tupac's groundbreaking return to the stage in hologram form at Coachella in 2012. His reemergence stunned fans and sparked a budding trend in live performance that has found deceased pop stars getting what some might consider a new lease on life - Tupac's performance was only enhanced by the lore of his legendary personality and the martyrdom that has been attached to him since his untimely death in 1996. Other 2014 Walk Of Fame honorees include Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Rick Springfield.
