Today at 11:30, the West Hollywood Walk of Fame will grow by one, when Rick Starr’s plaque will be added to the installation.
The walk is a tribute to life and a promise to those lost to continue our commitment to improve the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS, according to its website.
Starr died last July, according to WeHoville. He had worked at Hollywood Sheet Music for years until the store shut down in 2009.
