Tom Petty will be handed the Century Award by Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong in February (Pretty sure it's this TUESDAY 12/6).Petty will receive the award for his consistency in having Billboard hits over the last 30 years. He has had 16 Top 40 hits and ten Top 10 albums.
The Century Award salutes excellence from an artist’s body of work while their career is still unfolding.
Petty will release a self-titled album early 2006 (Again, actually called Highway Companion. How did Paul Cashmere GET this job?)
Interestingly, Petty presented the first ever Century Award in 1992 to his buddy and Traveling Wilburys co-star George Harrison.
