Music legends The Who are being awarded a Lifetime Achievement award for live music.

 

The band will be given the gong at the inaugural Vodafone Live Music Awards next month. Presently on a comeback world tour, The Who's venerable rockers have shown they can still draw huge crowds. There are no plans yet to extend the tour to Australia, though there have been persistent - if unsubstantiated - rumours about the veterans playing at the next Big Day Out.

 

Nominees for the other titles at the Vodafone awards include Coldplay, the Kaiser Chiefs, Muse and Razorlight for Live Act.
