Actor and rocker Johnny Depp will present the Kerrang! Inspiration award to Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry.
Perry and Depp have been touring the UK recently as part of supergroup Hollywood Vampires, which also features singer Alice Cooper.
Perry revealed on the red carpet that Depp was a “really great musician through and through”.
He added: “I don’t think he would be would be up on the stage with me and Alice and the rest of the cats if he wasn’t holding his own.
“I don’t think of him as an actor. He’s a guitar player.”
