Bon Jovi to receive Billboard's 2016 Legend of Live award

Iconic rock band Bon Jovi will be named the 2016 Legend of Live by Billboard at the 13th annual Billboard Touring Conference & Awards.  

The event is scheduled to take place on November 9 and November 10 at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, California and the "It's My Life" rockers will receive the honour there.  

Ray Waddell, Billboard's executive director of content and programming for touring and live entertainment, explained in a statement: "With an undeniable legacy and current status as a world class, stadium-level touring act, we think Bon Jovi is uniquely deserving to be named a Legend Of Live. To paraphrase their own hit, they've seen 20 million faces -- at least -- and rocked them all."

Billboard explains that this award is the "highest accolade in the live entertainment space, recognising professionalism and steadfast commitment to the art and craft of live performance. It honours artists who have made significant and lasting contributions to the touring business."

Bon Jovi will return with their 14th studio album, "This House is Not For Sale", on October 21.
