Legendary rock band Aerosmith will be honoured with the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year award.
The four-time Grammy winning band shared the news with their fans during their Las Vegas residency.
MusicCares, an organisation that helps music professionals who need financial, personal or medical assistance, also made the announcement on its official website.
The band will receive the award at the 30th anniversary gala of the organisation, that will take place on January 24, two days before the 62nd Grammy Awards.
Following a dinner, the American band will be honoured with a tribute concert featuring well-known musicians and other artists.
