Ozzy Osbourne, Eric Clapton and Grace Jones were present at the International Rock Awards in New York City in 1989. The event took place on May 31, 1989, at the 69th Battalion State Armory (68 Lexington Avenue) in New York City.
Notably, Ozzy Osbourne and Grace Jones presented the MVP Guitarist Award to Eric Clapton at the ceremony. Osbourne later recounted an anecdote about this meeting, initially believing Clapton hated him due to a pose he was asked to strike for a photo, only to realize years later that Clapton had also recently been through rehab and was likely feeling similarly anxious.
The International Rock Awards was a music award ceremony in the United States that aimed to honor top musicians in the rock music genre. The inaugural event took place on May 31, 1989, in New York City. The awards were broadcast on ABC for three years, from 1989 to 1991. The 1989 event was specifically called “The Coca-Cola International Rock Awards,” indicating a sponsorship by The Coca-Cola Company. While it was seen as an attempt to build up to the Grammy Awards, it ultimately failed to attract sufficient viewers to remain successful.
