Radio legend Howard Stern will celebrate his 60th birthday in style.
Rockers Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Tyler and John Fogerty will all perform at Howard Stern’s Birthday Bash. Presented by SiriusXM and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the show will take place at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Stern’s actual birthday was this past weekend, Jan. 12th.
Other’s honoring Stern include David Letterman and comedian Louis C.K. Said The Howard Stern Show host on a recent episode: “I am very excited to see Jon and thank him for that. And also one of my heroes will perform that night — one of the all-time greats. … A guy whose every record I bought when he was in Creedence Clearwater Revival, and later his solo stuff. John Fogerty will come by to perform two great songs. I won’t say what the songs are, [but] we’re really excited about that.”
Stern had previously announced that Tyler would make an appearance but did not divulge what the Aerosmith frontman has planned.
“He’s going to be performing with someone very special,” said Stern. “There’s a lot of superstars coming, but I am a huge, huge fan of Aerosmith’s and of Steven’s. I love the way he interprets a song, and to have him there that night performing is fantastic.”

Stern should be HONORED to be in the presence of John Fogerty. Agreed, one of rock’s true icons! A pleasant surprise, I must say.
Agreed. And “Fortunate Son” was more “metal” than any song ever written about ghosts and goblins or wizards and warriors ever was…
Sambora is gonna get roasted by Stern if it is the current line-up. Fogerty in ’13 was as good as CCR in ’72.
The King Of All Media !!!
Leslie West and Dee Snider probably sitting at home. Stern killed off his real friends long ago.
Still friends with both….
Very friendly of him to blacklist Dee for taking a job in radio. A tiny market that was no threat to Hamptons Howie, but the Baronet of dying medium still felt they need to treat Dee like a leper.
Since Judas Priest is my favorite band, I just had to comment that I love your username. Hysterical!

Thanks, I was hard pressed to think of something…somehow(probably booze) made that come to mind.
Check out Fogerty’s sit in with jamband (hate that term as much as Eddie hates the term hair metal band) Widespread Panic last year at the Lockn’ Festival in Virginia. Very good stuff…..
