Well your friend is right.
John Lennon and George Harrison were both awarded their stars posthumously, and The Beatles received the honor collectively as a band in 1988.

McCartney has already been listed in the Guinness World Records as the most successful musician and composer of popular music, with sixty gold discs and sales of more than 100 million singles.

“Should be forthcoming” ?
Weird stuff !!
