To join an illustrious group of my contemporaries is both humbling and exciting. I thank Las Vegas for all that it has taught me throughout the decades that I have been fortunate to tread the many stages around this town. I also thank my children for their love and support and my beautiful wife Patricia for being my best friend" said Engelbert in a statement.
The star was donated by Engelbert’s children, Louise, Jason, Scott and Bradley.
