LOS ANGELES - DISCO megastars The Village People were honoured on Friday for their hits of the late 1970s and early 1980s with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The current group members appeared for the ceremony unveiling the star dressed in their iconic outfits - as a policeman, a cowboy, a soldier, an Indian chief, a construction worker and a biker.

An icon of gay culture, the group had hits including YMCA, Macho Man, In the Navy and Go West.

The popular crooners were awarded star number 2,369. -- AFP
