Speaking ahead of a recent Q&A session, he revealed the news: “I want to thank everyone who has made it possible for me to have a street named after myself, made it possible to walk to this place of having a Stevie Wonder Avenue.”
Asked how it felt to have the honour given to him, he added: “Obviously it’s an amazing feeling – unbelievable to say the least. I never imagined in my lifetime it would happen. I suppose many things in my lifetime I didn’t imagine would happen. I’m just very, very thankful.”
The singer also spoke about the incoming inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, saying: “I think, honestly, we have a choice. Our choice is to do good by each other or do bad by each other. To do good for each other or do bad for each other. I think the President-elect has a decision he has to make.
“It’s a great thing to say we’re going to ‘make America great again’. Really, America has always been great. We just have to make it greater. That takes the coming together of all people. There is a lesson that has been shown by President Barack Obama that says we have to come together and work together and be together as united people of this nation.”
