The following report is courtesy of Jeb Wright from Classicrockrevisited.com:

May 24th will see the television premier of the best rock awards show on the planet: VH1 Rock Honors. Last year’s inaugural broadcast featured QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS, JUDAS PRIEST, DEF LEPPARD and KISS all being paid homage to by new bands, famous musicians and actors alike. The event was held at the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas. Throughout 2006 the Rock Honors were among the highest rated shows on both VH1 and VH1 Classic. From Judas Priest’s Rob Halford riding a Harley onstage to the Kiss Tribute band featuring Tommy Lee (MÖTLEY CRÜE), ROB ZOMBIE, Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Slash (VELVET REVOLVER) and founding Kiss member Ace Frehley, the event was a smash hit. Now, VH1 has set out to top last year’s extravaganza and by the looks of things they are well on their way to accomplishing their mission. The event will once again be held at Mandalay Bay in Vegas. The taping will take place on Saturday, May 12 with the television premier following on May 24th.

Who, you may ask, is being paid tribute to at the Second Annual Rock Honors? Sit down – take a deep breath – don’t make any sudden movements – this is huge. Well, we can't name names, but rumor has it that the honorees will be the men who sold England by the pound, the two most talented sister rockers on the planet, three of the most sharp dressed men you have ever seen and the Prince of Darkness, himself. VH1 will make an official announcement March 7th.

I'm guessing it will be Genesis, Heart, ZZ Top & Ozzy Osbourne. A good lineup, but it wont top last years show.
