Sammy Hagar to host first U.S. 'Classic Rock Roll of Honour'
Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY 10 a.m. EDT August 13, 2014
Celebrating its 10th year, the Classic Rock Roll of Honour is headed to America for the first time. Traditionally staged in London, the U.K. music awards show presented by Classic Rock magazine has enlisted Sammy Hagar as host for this year's ceremonies on Nov. 4 at The Avalon in Hollywood.
The Red Rocker, currently on his A Journey Through the History of Rock tour, is at work on a new Chickenfoot album and a solo acoustic project tentatively titled Sammy Hagar and Friends. Best known for his first band Montrose and as former front man for Van Halen, Hagar has also bolstered his resume as founder of Cabo Wabo tequila and Sammy's Beach Bar Rum.
"The Classic Rock Roll of Honour is one of music's coolest and most prestigious events in the U.K., so I'm really excited to be hosting it for the first time in the U.S.," Hagar told USA TODAY. "My goal is to keep it fun and filled with so many off-the-hook music moments that we put it on the map alongside the Grammys, VMAs and other awards ceremonies."
Past Roll of Honour hosts have included Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons and Duff McKagan.
Classic Rock magazine announced this year's nominees today:
Band of the Year
Black Sabbath
The Black Keys
Guns N' Roses
Iron Maiden
Metallica
Queen + Adam Lambert
