Spike TV to honor Keith Richards
 

'bout bloody time, eh?



NEW YORK, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Spike TV will honor the legendary rock icon
Keith Richards with the "SCREAM 2009" Rock Immortal Award, it was announced
today by Casey Patterson, svp, talent development and event production, Spike
TV. The show tapes on Saturday, October 17 at the Greek Theatre in Los
Angeles, CA and will premiere on Spike TV on Tuesday, October 27 (10:00
PM-Midnight, ET/PT). The two-hour event will air in more than 100 countries
worldwide.

"Keith Richards is part rock god, part superhero and nobody had rocked as hard
and lived to tell about it," said Patterson. "As his friend Johnny Depp once
pointed out, Keith Richards was a beloved and feared pirate long before he
ever played the part in any movie."


Spike TV will pay homage to the single coolest guitar legend on the planet
with a SCREAM-worthy tribute from some of Richards' most die-hard fans.
Richards, who in 2007 won "SCREAM's" Best Cameo Award for his role in "Pirates
Of The Caribbean: At World's End," is unstoppable and he continues to
successfully fight to keep the nervy, rebellious and wildly defiant spirit of
Rock & Roll alive and well.

Congrats to Keith...a true rock n' roll legend (and great bluesman):
