'After so much English, I am going to speak in Spanish,' he said to the roaring crowd. 'It is a special, wonderful day, an unimaginable blessing from God, but look, thanks to our reunion, we can be here celebrating this blessing that God has given us. How many of us came here to gaze at the stars here, and now we have one.' While his speech was brief, it was impactful and timely, thanking the immigrants that live in the United States for their support throughout the years. 'We dedicate this star to all immigrants gathered here in this beautiful country, to all workers who strive every day, the silent force of service in this country, silent but making a lot of noise and doing a lot for this country,' Solís said. 'In these times of adversity, we are with you. Our hearts go out to all those who are suffering from the hardships we are going through. We fully trust that this will have a solution.' Last year, Los Bukis made history as the first-ever full Spanish-language residency on the Las Vegas Strip. It was preceded by a momentous Los Bukis stadium tour, which kicked off in 2021, reuniting the band after a 25-year hiatus. According to Billboard's 2021 year-end Boxscore charts, Los Bukis' Una Historia Cantada Tour landed a No. 6 spot on Billboard's 40 top tours of 2021 with a total gross of $49,667,153. The reunion trek also won Top Latin Tour at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. Overall, Los Bukis has 32 entries onto Hot Latin Songs (which began in October 1986), scoring five No. 1 hits, including 'Cómo Fui A Enamorarme De Ti,' 'Y Ahora Te Vas' and 'Mi Mayor Necesidad.'

Ozzy Osbourne Fans Are Petitioning Chipotle to Pay Tribute to the Rocker
Ozzy Osbourne Fans Are Petitioning Chipotle to Pay Tribute to the Rocker originally appeared on Parade. The late Ozzy Osbourne was famously known as the Prince of Darkness, but his most devoted fans know he was also the King of Burritos! Now, there's a petition for Chipotle to add a new menu item in the Black Sabbath rocker's honor following his July 22, 2025, death. Music outlet Loudwire has launched a petition requesting that the infamous Mexican fast-casual chain memorialize the rock legend in their restaurants. "Loudwire believes Chipotle should create a signature burrito called 'The Ozzy' to celebrate his immense love for the food chain," they wrote in the petition. "We don't know what Ozzy's typical order was, but if anyone in his camp knows and is willing to share, please get in touch!" Osbourne's love of burritos was well documented on his MTV reality showThe Osbournes, which ran for four seasons from 2002 until 2005. In a 2003 episode called "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Ozzy's "burrito diet" was the major drama of the week. Related: He dubbed himself "Burrito Man" after developing a habit of eating the Mexican meal "twice a day." "Your father can't eat one burrito, he has to have 900 burritos," his wife, Sharon Osbourne, joked. Even in the middle of an intense conversation admonishing daughter Kelly Osbourne for underage drinking, he abruptly stopped to say, "I'm going to go eat a burrito." In the episode, Ozzy described Chipotle as his "favorite, favorite, favorite burrito joint," while lovingly watching his meal being made behind the counter. His passion even prompted the chain to give out their very first "Celebrity Card" to Ozzy, which allowed him one free meal a day. With more than 1,000 signatures within the first few hours of the petition going live, fans love the idea of honoring Ozzy with his very own menu item. They even began offering up other name suggestions in the comments of the petition, including the "Ozzrito," "The Burrito of Ozz," and the "Burrito of Darkness." Chipotle has yet to respond to the petition.
