Cummings already has a star on the Walk of Fame; The Guess Who was inducted in 2001. “To be on the Walk twice…I’ve finally done something that [Gordon] Lightfoot hasn’t done,” Cummings, the band’s lead singer and songwriter, said.

He has six Juno Awards, the Order of Canada and some 80 platinum and gold record awards for such hits as American Woman and These Eyes. “It’s a huge deal this whole thing,” he said on the red carpet. “We got one with The Guess Who eight years ago and that was a wonderful day because we got to hang out with [hockey great] Jean Beliveau all day. He was a hero of mine when I was a kid. You should have seen us. These grown men and we turned into eight-year-old kids again.”
