Air Supply 入驻好莱坞星光大道：成军逾 50 年，退休主持人 Pat Sajak 惊喜站台
10 月 8 日，澳大利亚传奇组合 Air Supply 在好莱坞星光大道正式留星，成员 Graham Russell 与 Russell Hitchcock 出席揭星仪式。已退休的《命运之轮》主持人 Pat Sajak 罕见公开露面致辞，知名制作人 David Foster 也到场站台。
Sajak 与这对组合是多年好友。他在致辞中以自己的主持生涯打比方：自己主持一档节目四十多年，深知「不过气」有多难，而 Air Supply 成军五十多年，至今仍在全球开唱且场场用心，从不敷衍。Sajak 于 2024 年 6 月主持完最后一期《命运之轮》，结束 41 季的主持生涯，此后很少公开露面，这次亮相也成为仪式上的一大看点。
Air Supply 1975 年在澳大利亚组建，《All Out of Love》《Making Love Out of Nothing at All》等情歌传唱数十年，在华语世界同样家喻户晓，是不少华人听众英语情歌的启蒙。如今年过七旬的两人仍维持巡演节奏，这颗星算是对他们半个世纪舞台生涯的官方盖章。仪式在好莱坞大道举行，星光大道的星星对公众免费开放，住在洛杉矶的读者路过时可以留意这块新星。（GSM 据 People 对 10 月 8 日揭星仪式的报道原创摘要）
Air Supply Gets Its Hollywood Walk of Fame Star After 50 Years; Pat Sajak Makes Rare Appearance
On October 8, Australian soft-rock legends Air Supply received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with members Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock attending the unveiling. Retired Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak made a rare public appearance to speak, joined by hit producer David Foster.
Sajak, a longtime friend of the duo, compared their run to his own: after hosting one show for more than four decades, he said he understands how hard it is not to wear out your welcome — yet Air Supply, together for over 50 years, still tour the world and give full effort at every show. Sajak hosted his final Wheel of Fortune episode in June 2024 after 41 seasons and has rarely appeared in public since, making his presence a highlight of the ceremony.
Formed in Australia in 1975, Air Supply made ballads such as "All Out of Love" and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" into standards; their songs are just as familiar to Chinese-speaking audiences, for many of whom they were a first introduction to English-language love songs. Still touring in their seventies, the pair now have official recognition for a half-century on stage. The new star sits on Hollywood Boulevard, free for the public to visit.
