KFIX Rock News: The Doors To Receive Inspiration Award

The Doors will be honored this November at the 10th annual Classic Rock Awards — the Classic Rock Roll of Honour. The band is this year’s recipient of the Inspiration Award.

The annual event is hosted by the U.K.-based Classic Rock magazine.

This year’s ceremony will be held in the U.S. for the first time at The Avalon in Hollywood on November 4.

Surviving Doors members, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore, will be presented with the award at the ceremony.

Krieger and Densmore issued a statement saying, “In 1965 and ’66, our brothers across the pond were making a lot of beautiful noise, and we attempted to create our own magical sound out here on the West Coast. It’s really nice to see them now turning around, coming back here to L.A., and recognizing what the four of us accomplished together on a beach in Venice, California.”

Krieger and Densmore added, “To receive this award on our own soil, from the Brits, is an honor, and we take it as a sign of respect, so–thank you, from us and on behalf of our fallen brothers, Jim [Morrison] and Ray [Manzarek].”

Gregg Allman will be presented with a Living Legend Award at the ceremony.

As previously announced, the event will be hosted by Sammy Hagar and will air on AXS TV in December.

The annual Classic Rock Roll of Honour will also hand out awards in categories such as Band of the Year, Best New Band, Album of the Year and Reissue of the Year. You can vote at ClassicRockMagazine.com/awards.
