Late soul legend Otis Redding is also set for a posthumous star in the live theatre/live performance category, along with 30 Rock star Jane Krakowski.

The class of 2024 was unveiled by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Chairwoman Ellen K said in a statement: "The selection committee, which is made up of fellow Walk of Famers, carefully hand-picks a group of honourees each year that represent various genres of the entertainment world.

"The committee did an amazing job choosing these very talented people. We can't wait to see each honouree's reaction as they realise that they are becoming a part of Hollywood's history with the unveiling of their star on the world's most famous walkway."
