THE WHO will be the sole honoree at the third annual "VH1 Rock Honors," taping in Los Angeles July 12 at the Pauley Pavilion, and premiering on the cable television network July 17, according to a press release. This is the first time VH1 salutes just one band; last year's honorees included Genesis, Heart, Ozzy Osbourne and ZZ Top.

THE WHO will be celebrated with a two-hour tribute saluting the music and lasting impact of the band. The "Rock Honors" show will feature spoken tributes, filmed packages and performances by "some of today's premiere rock acts," as well as THE WHO, according to the release. Performers, presenters and special guests will be announced as they are confirmed.
