The 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards certainly had no shortage of talent in attendance and hitting the stage at the iconic Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, where the ceremony was held on Monday, March 27. Hosted by rock legend Lenny Kravitz, the rock and alt nominees featured the likes of Måneskin, blink-182, Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Turnstile, twenty one pilots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and more.
Opening the ceremony with a tribute to the victims of the Nashville school shooting that occurred earlier Monday afternoon, Kravitz offered “healing love” and urged America to do better in regard to gun violence that has plagued the US. Kravitz also pulled double duty with a medley performance that included “American Woman,” “Fly Away,” and “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” Check out his performance below.
While pop titans Taylor Swift and Harry Styles proved to be big winners, Red Hot Chili Peppers took home two awards from the rock and alt categories.
