Rock guitar icon Jimi Hendrix is coming to your mailbox. The U.S. Postal Service has released the Jimi Hendrix Forever Stamp, embracing one of rock’s greatest performers.
The limited-edition stamp, designed by artist Rudy Gutierrez, features a vibrant, colorful design fashioned to evoke the movement and rhythm of the late singer and pay homage to the psychedelic rock era of the 1960s.
The Postal Service has released numerous stamps to celebrate and honor music icons who had a big impact on American culture and the music industry. The Jimi Hendrix Forever Stamp kicks off the 2014 Music Icons series, which will include Janis Joplin later this year. The 2013 Music Icons series honored Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and Lydia Mendoza.
Hendrix died in 1970. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
