Peter Frampton To Receive Music Biz Chairman’s Award

Peter Frampton will be honored with the Chairman’s Award at the 2019 Music Biz Hall of Fame Dinner on May 7.

The Chairman’s Award is for sustained creative achievement. Previous winners are Nile Rodgers, Reba McEntire, The Doobie Brothers, Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Garth Brooks, Chicago, Kool & The Gang, Liza Minnelli, Fleetwood Mac, Kenny Rogers, Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Nat King Cole, Santana, Lena Horne, and Benny Goodman, among many others.

The award comes ahead of Frampton’s next album, All Blues, due in June.

Peter Frampton announced his retirement in February after being diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis.

“We could think of no artist more deserving of an award for sustained creative achievement than Peter Frampton, who has fashioned a storied career through his solo efforts, co-founding of a supergroup and his extraordinary collaborations with fellow industry legends,” commented Music Biz Chairman Steve Harkins. “This will be the third time Peter has graced the Music Biz stage; once in 1977 to honor his landmark live record Frampton Comes Alive!, again as part of the 2006 Universal Music Showcase, and this year to rightfully honor him as a music industry icon and a true bastion in the history of Rock music.”
