On-The-Mend Matt Pinfield Hosts Green Day Walk of Fame Ceremony in Hollywood


VJ/DJ Matt Pinfield hosted Thursday's (May 1) Green Day Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony in Hollywood more than four months after suffering a stroke.

Praising them as “one of the greatest live bands in the world,” Pinfield honored the trio’s breakthrough 1994 classic, Dookie,” which he said, “made so many young people pick up guitars, bass, and drums, and want to sing and write songs. He also told a story about being in the edit for the Deadpool& Wolverine movie a few years ago and how he imagined a poignant end credit sequence he wanted to express “warmth, gratitude and love.” Then, Green Day’s 1997 classic “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” came on and he realized he had his tune. When the star was finally revealed, Green Day had an unexpected, surprise guest in the form of Public Enemy hype man Flavor Flav, who ran up at the last minute and got down on the ground next to Cool so he could appear in the official pictures.
