A Hollywood Walk of Fame star was unveiled Friday in tribute to four-time Grammy Award-winning Michael Buble, who has sold more than 60 million records, coinciding with the release of her debut album since 2016.
Buble was joined during the ceremony in front of the W Hollywood hotel on Hollywood Boulevard by music producer David Foster, Priscilla Presley and Tom Corson, co-president and chief operating officer, Warner Bros. Records.
Foster has long produced Buble's work, including "Love," which is released today by Reprise Records, part of the Warner Music group. Buble performed a duet of "Fever" with Presley's former husband, Elvis Presley, on the album "If I Can Dream" of 2015.
The star will be the 2650th since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the first 1,558 stars.
"Michael Buble's velvety and sweet interpretations of the timeless classics of the Great American Songbook continue to cover us with love and guide us to the past," said Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "It effortlessly merges the music of the past with the present."
Buble was born on September 9, 1975 in Burnaby, British Columbia, in the suburbs of Vancouver. He started singing in nightclubs at the age of 16. His first album, which bears his own name, was released in 2003 and was awarded the Best New Artist Award, the Juno Award, which honors Canadian artists and artists.
Buble received the first of his 10 Grammy nominations in 2005 for Best Traditional Vocal Album for "It's Time", which was defeated by Tony Bennett's "The Art of Romance".
The following year, Buble was again nominated in the category for "Caught in the Act", losing again to Bennett, this time from "Duets: An American Classic".
It took Buble two more nominations to receive his first Grammy, in "Call Me Irresponsible", which won the 2008 award for best traditional pop album. He also won the category award in 2010 for "Michael Buble meets Madison Square Garden".
Other Grammys from Buble came for the best traditional vocal album – in 2011 for "Crazy Love" and in 2014 for "To Be Loved".
Buble paused after diagnosing liver cancer on his eldest son Noah in 2016.
In 2017, Buble said "the doctors are very optimistic about the future of our little boy", who was then about 4 years old.
"I did not plan to start recording or playing again, and it suited me," Buble said. "My vision of the world has completely changed in recent years, I wanted to spend all my time with my wife and children, it was my goal."
"During this time, I also learned how much love and humanity are in the world through the prayers and good wishes we have received, emotions and lessons that I have embraced."
