New Edition‘s impact on Hollywood was celebrated in the city of angels last night when the group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

More below…

Their star stands as the 2,600th star on the Walk of Fame and comes before BET is set to air their Luke James-fronted biopic.

An estimated 1,500 fans turned out for the ceremony which was launched after the actress Viola Davis received her star for her contributions to the arts.

Billboard breaks it down:

Directed by Chris Robinson, the film stars Bryshere Y. Gray as Michael Bivins, Elijah Kelley as Ricky Bell, Algee Smith as Ralph Tresvant, Keith Powers as Ronnie Devoe, Woody McClain as Bobby Brown and Luke James as Johnny Gill. To prepare for their roles, each cast member endured boot camp-style rehearsals overseen by New Edition to learn the group’s high-energy charisma and mannerisms.
