MTV TO PAY TRIBUTE TO AEROSMITH (MTV ICON)
Kid Rock, Pink, Train, Shakira and Nas are among the performers who will walk this way to an MTV tribute to Aerosmith.
At mtvICON: Aerosmith, the artists will perform some of the Boston-based rock band's hits from the past three decades. Sum 41, Ja Rule and Nelly will re-create the video for Walk This Way, which teamed Aerosmith with Run-DMC in 1986.
The show also will feature testimonials from Mila Kunis of That '70s Show and Alicia Silverstone, who have appeared in Aerosmith videos, as well as Janet Jackson, who was the subject of the first mtvICON special a year ago.
For the finale, Aerosmith will take the stage.
The show will be taped on April 14 in Los Angeles and is scheduled to air from 9-10:30 p.m. April 17.
