Former VAN HALEN and current CHICKENFOOT frontman Sammy Hagar will host this year's edition of Classic Rock magazine's annual awards show, the Classic Rock Roll Of Honour. Traditionally held at the Roundhouse in London, the ceremony is celebrating its tenth edition by heading to America for the first time on November 4. It will take place at the famed Avalon in Hollywood, California. "The Classic Rock Roll of Honour is one of musics 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.," said Hagar. "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." Classic Rock editor Siân Llewellyn added: "Sammy is the ultimate rock'n'roll showman, and to have a musician of his calibre host our event is an honour and a testament to how much the Roll Of Honour has grown over the last decade. In a year that has given us some thrilling music from bands old and new, and in a year we bring rock's best party to Los Angeles, it's fitting that Sammy a man with more classic rock credentials than most will give the Roll Of Honour a shot of the high-voltage Californian sunshine it deserves."
