In 2012, Slash, who at the time was formerly of Guns N Roses, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Charlie Sheen, who hosted the event, commented that “It seems quite fitting that Slash is getting a star on the very street that Axl Rose will one be sleeping on.”
And finally in 2024, in a twist of comedic fate, Cypress Hill team up with the London Symphony Orchestra to perform a show at Royal Albert Hall. This combo appeared together in 1996, but in cartoon form.
