They played to vast crowds live, selling over 1.6 million tickets on the last global tour, concluding with two shows at Birmingham’s Genting Arena.Tony is in the UK and US Rock & Roll Hall’s Of Fame, has two Grammys, his autobiography was a New York Times bestseller, and he has a star in Birmingham’s Broad Street. Tony also has three solo albums to his credit.

He transformed the latter into Britain’s first truly multi-platform print-based brand when he launched Kerrang! TV, Kerrang! Radio, kerrang.com and The Kerrang! Awards (which he continues to host). He was the Editor-In-Chief of MOJO for 14 years between 2003 to 2017, and launched MOJO Radio and The MOJO Honours List. In September 2017, he was appointed Global Creative Director of Kerrang! Magazine And Rock Music Media. He remains Contributing Editor on MOJO and hosts a weekly Saturday night radio show on Britain’s leading rock radio station, Planet Rock.
