Famous rocker Bob Seger has been honoured with a new address at DTE Energy Music Theatre.
The official address of the theatre in Clarkston, Michigan is now 33 Bob Seger Drive.
The Detroit native and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer began a string of six sold out dates Thursday night at DTE. It's part of Seger's final tour which closes June 21.
The six-show run gives Seger a total of 33 performances at the venue, the same number placed alongside his name on the newly installed street sign.
DTE Energy Music Theatre owner Tom Gores said Seger's contributions to the region’s vibrant music scene are legendary.
“Bob Seger is a Michigan icon and one of the greatest rock-and-roll artists of all time,” said Gores. “A Detroit legend and hero to his hometown, he’s always stayed true to his roots and embodies the best of our region’s Midwestern values."
Seger said he's proud of all the contributions he's made to the world of music and to the community.
“Thank you so much for this. I am deeply honored and grateful!” said Bob Seger. “I have great affection for this historic venue and now to be a part of it forever is truly overwhelming.”
Seger's career spans five decades. His first performance at the iconic and world-class amphitheater was on July 24, 1972, the year the venue opened.
