The ceremony was the 10th annual event from Classic Rock magazine, and other winners included Ozzy Osbourne, who scooped the prize for Classic Album for 'Blizzard of Ozz' and Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band, who took home the Living Legend award, following in the footsteps of the likes of Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper and Jimmy Page.
Hosted by multi-platinum Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sammy Hagar, the ceremony saw the star joined on stage by several musical icons including Scott Ian of Anthrax and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, as well as performances from California Breed, Kings of Chaos and Rival Sons.
