English rock band 'The Who' were honoured at separate ceremonies in Los Angeles by the British record producer Sir George Martin.
The Who's singer Roger Daltry and guitarist Pete Townshend were joined by bands like The Flaming Lips and Foo Fighters for a two-hour concert celebrating their biggest hits.
BBC quoted Penn as telling the crowd "We're all here tonight because The Who never did sell out, unlike certain music channels".
The Who also paid tribute to former colleagues at their ceremony, with pre-taped tributes to drummer Keith Moon, who died in London in 1978 and bassist John Entwistle, who died in Las Vegas in 2002.
"I miss old friends, but they are with me," said Daltry on the red carpet before the event.
"When we start playing our music, John and Keith echo with us all the time, so it's kind of like they never left," he added. (ANI)
