Rock stars galore including Black Sabbath, Slash, Tenacious D and Black Veil Brides were out in force tonight as the Kerrang! Awards 2012 fuelled by Relentless Energy Drink took place in London. Big winners included Black Sabbath, You Me At Six, Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance and Enter Shikari, with over a million votes cast making this the biggest Awards yet.

Renowned as one of the most legendary awards events in the rock music calendar, the Kerrang! Awards 2012 fuelled by Relentless Energy Drink did not disappoint, with a rock royalty theme to mark the Queen’s Jubilee. Hosted by Corey Taylor and Scott Ian, some of the biggest names in international rock and metal took to the Awards “black carpet” to celebrate the past year in music.

On the eve of what will be a triumphant return to Donington Park, with their headlining appearance at the Download Festival on Sunday 10 June, Black Sabbath were honoured with the Kerrang! Inspiration Award.

Kerrang! regret to announce that Sum 41 have been forced to pull out of the upcoming Kerrang! Tour Sponsored By Relentless Energy Drink. The rest of the line-up remains unaffected.

Frontman Deryck Whibley has been suffering from a recurring back injury and will not be well enough to perform on the 11-date UK and Ireland tour, which is set to kick off on February 4 at Dublin Academy.

“I feel really terrible about letting down the fans,” says Deryck. “I injured my back about eight months ago and the doctors are saying that I could be in a wheelchair. So, as much as I wanted to be able to do it, I’ve got to look at reality, and for the first time I’ve got to listen to somebody else and not just myself. We’re all really upset about this; we’ve had such a great relationship with our UK fans. We were really looking forward to this tour.”
