The Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to be honored with the Global Icon Award at the MTV Video Music Awards this weekend.

The award celebrates “an artist or band whose unparalleled career, continued impact and influence have maintained a unique level of global success in music and beyond, leaving an indelible mark on the music landscape.” The Foo Fighters won it last year.

The Chilis, who released their latest album ‘Unlimited Love’ in April, will perform live.
