It's not the end of the road for Boyz II Men -- in fact, it's only the beginning. Or maybe the middle. The location remains to be seen, but the point is, 90's R&B group Boyz II Men are getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

This is the walk's 2,456th star, according to City News Service.

Boyz II Men's first album, Cooleyhighharmony (YES) was released in 1991, and the group went on to sell 60 million records. So why a star now, you ask? Well, because they're about to kick off a 17-city European tour followed by a jaunt around the U.S. (According to their website, they're not coming to California, but if you really want to relive your awkward teen years, you can hop a plane to Nevada, where the Boyz will be performing on July 6.)
