Former KROQ DeeJay Richard Blade Getting Walk of Fame Star


Richard Blade, the former KROQ radio personality, is set to receive the 2,782nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The dedication ceremony will take place on Thursday, June 6, 2024, at 11:00 AM PT at 1625 Vine Street. Blade will be honored in the category of Radio.

Walk of Famer Jimmy Kimmel and Richard Blade Fan Club Coordinator Oscar E. Alvarez, Jr. will be the guest speakers at the event. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which administers the iconic Walk of Fame, proudly hosts these globally recognized star ceremonies. Millions of people from around the world have visited this cultural landmark since its inception in 19601.

Richard Blade’s impact on music and entertainment is significant. Born in England and educated at Oxford, he became one of the most popular and well-known DJs in America. In the 1980s, he held the top-rated morning-drive DJ position at KROQ in Los Angeles. 

Blade also hosted and directed various TV shows and series, including Video One, MV3, and VideoBeat. His accolades include awards such as The Golden Microphone, California’s Best DJ, Brit-of-the-Year, and the American DJ Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Last June, he was honored with a special resolution proclaiming Richard Blade Day in Los Angeles for his contributions to music and entertainment.
