Here, I’m gonna talk about the Melissa Etheridge who is a singer, activist and also breast cancer survivor. On Tuesday, She has received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, this was her second happiest moment, after one of the most happiest moment in her life when she received the Grammy award. An event she hoped could be an inspiration to any one facing adversity or dreaming of a better life.
Grammy winner Etheridge, 50, is known for her fusion of folk-blues rock in hits like “Come to My Window.” She was greeted by hundreds of her fans outside the Hard Rock Café in Hollywood as she unveiled her coveted star.
Etheridge admitted that, let her life be an inspiration to anyone, gay, straight, breast cancer, woman, mother, any human being who has been received the inspiration from her story. It was at the unveiling that took place in conjunction with the launch of a “Pinktober” campaign supporting breast cancer research.
She also added that, “you can have a dream that you can grown up in a small Midwestern town and believe and desire and create a life and end up with a star on the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard. This was a nice statement but all can’t do this come real. Her story really makes an inspiration to one and all.
Over 25-year of her career, the Kansas native has released 10 studio albums with the multi-platinum 1993 CD. She is gamering chart success and international recognition. She is counting to win the Oscar for “I Need to Wake Up” from the environmental movie “An Inconvenient Truth” and singing with Bruce Springsteen among career highlights and still finds herself surprised with the global success of her songs.
It meant her very much when she realized that her music was being listened to worldwide. It started to become very obvious to her that music is an international language which can’t be for particular nation. Etheridge became a voice for gay rights after publicly coming out as a lesbian in 1993.
Etheridge is an active spokeswoman, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003 and also became an Artist Ambassador for the Pinktober breast cancer awareness campaign. Her star on the Walk of Fame marked the official start of this year's Pinktober effort, which will see numerous special events, concerts and limited edition merchandise available at Hard Rock establishments around the world.
