Country Music Icon George Strait to Receive a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Country music legend George Strait will be immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, adding to his long list of achievements. This honor comes hot on the heels of Strait's record-breaking concert at Texas A&M's Kyle Field, where he performed to a staggering crowd of 110,905 fans, breaking the US record for the biggest audience at a ticketed concert.

"We got some Aggies out there? Oh yeah!" Strait said at the concert. "I’m ashamed to say this, but this is my first time to ever be in Kyle Field. Damn! Just invite me back!"

With 40 gold albums, 33 platinum albums, and 13 multiplatinum albums, Strait holds the record for the most number-one albums and singles in country music history.
