PanARMENIAN.Net – French-Armenian singer and entertainer Charles Aznavour received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, August 24 after a more than 70-year career.
The 93-year-old singer, who was attending the event, described himself as happy at the honor – with reservations.
"The word I can say is happy, and with a part of emotion, of course, because we are far away from my country, from my way of living, from my way of being received by the people," he said at the Hollywood ceremony.
Aznavour, 93, who was born Shahnour Varinag Aznavourian in Paris to Armenian parents, has sold more than 100 million records in 80 countries. He has been described as France's equivalent to Frank Sinatra.
